In particular in comparison with Atenolol.

Atenolol is a beta blocker while felodipine is a calcium channel blocker. Both are for hypertension but each has a different mechanism of action in lowering blood pressure. Both are effective in controlling high blood pressure but this is case dependent. They can actually be given together. Also, felodipine has the advantage of being longer acting so it can be given once a day. Of course, as with any medication, both drugs are not without side effects. There are other drugs in the market that can be and are more effeective that the above mentioned medication like ARB`s and ACE inhibitors, etc. Before taking any of these medication, please consult your doctor.

Hi.... Ali Sab!, There is no permanent Cure for B.P. and there is no other system of other Alternative Medicine for B.P. All the other systems can reduce the intake of Medicine and safe guard from side Effects.Hence I am sincerely advising you to go for Allopathic Treatment with a Doctor who Qualified with M.D. who can analyse the root cause for the Problem.There are several causes for the BP . some times Thyroid imbalance may also cause for the Problem. On analysing the cause the Doctor will prescribe the Medicine for controlling BP along with the treatment for the other problems caused for aggravation of BP. I am sincerely advising you you go for the Allopathic treatment and practise Meditation the Manner and Method you like. As has already been Said it will reduce the in-take of Medicine and helps to overcome side effects aroused due to Medicine and the BP you are having. If you are in Hyderabad, India you can get a Best Treatment in NIMS. There a Special Clinic for Hypertension is available.
