Question

Which of these medicines causes low heart rate:

Aspirin
Atenolol
Escalators
Lorazaprnorvasc
Crestir
Vitamin c
Iron pills
B12 pill
Lorsartan

Answer 1

Among the medications you've listed, **Atenolol** is the one that can cause a low heart rate (bradycardia) as a side effect. Atenolol is a beta-blocker, which works by slowing the heart rate and reducing the workload on the heart.

The other medications you mentioned typically do not cause bradycardia. Here's a brief overview:

- **Aspirin**: A pain reliever and anti-inflammatory; does not typically affect heart rate.
- **Escalators**: Not a medication. This appears to be a misunderstanding.
- **Lorazepam**: A benzodiazepine that can have sedative effects but does not directly cause bradycardia.
- **Crestor** (Rosuvastatin): A cholesterol-lowering medication; does not typically affect heart rate.
- **Vitamin C**: A vitamin that does not affect heart rate.
- **Iron pills**: Used for iron deficiency; does not typically affect heart rate.
- **B12 pill**: Used for B12 deficiency; does not typically affect heart rate.
- **Losartan**: An antihypertensive medication (an angiotensin II receptor blocker) that can lower blood pressure but does not typically cause bradycardia.

If you have concerns about heart rate and any medications, it's always best to consult with a healthcare provider.
