Tenoric

Tenoric (Atenolol/Chlorthalidone) is prescribed to treat hypertension (high blood pressure). By reducing high blood pressure it helps to prevent heart attacks, strokes, and even issues in the kidneys which are all an associated risk of high blood pressure.

This drug is a beta blocker which works by slowing heart rate and generally protecting the heart against strain. Chlorthalidone, on the other hand, is a diuretic which causes the body to pass excess liquid and salt, allowing the blood vessels to relax and blood to flow more easily.

Strictly follow your Tenoric (Atenolol/Chlorthalidone) prescription. Correct dosage is largely dependent on the individual patient being treated and the severity of hypertension being treated.

Tablets are taken orally and washed down with a full glass of water. It can be taken with or without food, however patients should not dose during later than the afternoon, so the diuretic function does not prevent you from sleeping by needing to visit the bathroom.
