Tenoretic 100

Drug Details

Tenoretic is a medication designed to manage high blood pressure in adults. It combines two active ingredients: atenolol, a beta blocker, and chlorthalidone, a diuretic. Atenolol helps reduce blood pressure by blocking certain natural chemicals in the body, such as epinephrine, which leads to a lower heart rate and decreased strain on the heart. Chlorthalidone helps the body eliminate excess salt and water, increasing urine output initially and relaxing the blood vessels for better blood flow. Together, these medications are effective when a single drug is insufficient to control blood pressure. Tenoretic is typically taken once a day by mouth, and while side effects like dizziness and tiredness can occur, they are generally mild and improve over time. Always consult your healthcare provider to determine if this medication is the right choice for you.
