This results in a slower heart rate and a reduced blood pump rate. In addition, beta-blockers also block angiotensin II that kidneys produce, resulting in wide blood vessels that lower blood pressure.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>How do beta-blockers work? (Mechanism of Action)<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>Beta-adrenergic blocking agents, also known as beta blockers, mainly function by slowing down your heart rate. This means they reduce the rate at which the blood is pumped around your body. Beta blockers usually come in the form of tablets and are prescribed by doctors.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Beta blockers block the effects of adrenaline and noradrenaline on beta receptors. These hormones are part of the body\u2019s natural stress response.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">They also reduce the release of renin from the kidneys. Renin plays a role in producing angiotensin II, a hormone that tightens blood vessels. When renin levels drop, the amount of angiotensin II also decreases. This relaxes the blood vessels and helps bring blood pressure down.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>What Are the Different Types of Beta Blockers?<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-69379 size-full lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.adityabirlacapital.com\/healthinsurance\/active-together\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Tablet.jpg\" alt=\"Types of beta blockers - Benefits of beta blockers\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 800px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 800\/533;\" \/> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Typically, beta-blockers are used to aid in your heart\u2019s ability to slow down, which also lowers your blood pressure levels and eases heart rhythms.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While some beta-blockers work on the heart only, other beta-blockers also affect your blood vessels.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Here are some of the most commonly prescribed beta-blockers:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Acebutolol<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Atenolol\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Esmolol<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bisoprolol\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Carteolol<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Nadolol<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Propranolol<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Take beta-blockers as prescribed by your doctor.
