tenormin (atenolol) orally daily for more than three years. The other This study had been done on thirty blood samples drown from thirty men between 40-60 years of age half of them suffering from hypertension and taking 100mg fifteen men were healthy and did not taking any drug and regarded as control. Those blood samples were subjected to study some hematological parameters such as hemoglobin percentage and total erythrocyticr and leukocytic counts. Also isolation of leukocytes was done from both hypertensive patient and control and study their activity by chemiluminescence method. v Result showed that prolonged treatment by tenormin of 100 mg orally daily resulted in significant decrease (P < 0.0l)in total erythrocytic and leucocytic counts as well as the same significant decrease in hemoglobin percentage as compared with controls , it also resulted in significant inhibition of activity of isolated leukocytes as measured by chemiluminescence technique which resulted from their weak reaction with the luminescence material (lucigenin)mixed with it in the measuring chemiluminescence apparatus which is an indication of reduced immunological ability of those leukocytes in addition to their decreased number.
