In reply to atenolol is cardioselective (nm) » KaraS, posted by emme on January 27, 2005, at 13:20:58
I read this too, that atenolol does not cross the blood brain barrier.
I think this is nonsence for three reasons:
a) It is sometimes used in agression and
PTSD, where lowering blood pressure alone
does not ameleorate agression/PTSD.b) It is used in migrane, whereas not every
medicine that lowers blood pressure ameliorates
migrane.c) It makes me depressed.
I don't think it is cardioselective. The ideal heart medication is cardioselective so every manufacturer claims this.
