Tenofed Capsule is used to treat hypertension (high blood pressure). Hypertension is a medical condition in which the blood exerts high pressure (force exerted by circulating blood) against blood vessels' walls. This condition makes the heart work harder to pump blood into the whole body. Hypertension can cause severe health complications, including stroke, heart failure, heart attack, and kidney failure.

Tenofed Capsule contains Atenolol (beta-blocker) and Nifedipine (calcium channel blocker). Atenolol works by reducing the heart rate and making the heart pump blood efficiently throughout the body. Nifedipine works by relaxing the blood vessels; this lowers your blood pressure and reduces your risk of having a stroke, a heart attack, other heart problems, or kidney problems in the future. This medicine needs to be taken regularly to be effective and also for the best results.

Take Tenofed Capsule as prescribed by your doctor. You are advised to take Tenofed Capsule for as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you, depending upon your medical condition. In some cases, you may experience blurred vision, sweating, tiredness, dehydration, constipation, dizziness, headache, nausea, cold hands or feet, and muscle cramps. Most of these side effects of Tenofed Capsule do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects are persistent, reach out to your doctor.

Do not stop taking Tenofed Capsule without consulting your doctor since it may worsen your condition and increase the risk of future heart problems. Inform your doctor if you are suffering from kidney, liver, heart diseases, diabetes, gout, and asthma. Please tell your doctor if you are taking any other medicines or have any allergic reactions to Tenofed Capsule . Reducing the amount of table salt (sodium chloride) in your food often relieves the body's swelling. Do not eat grapefruit or drink grapefruit juice while you're taking Tenofed Capsule . It can make side effects worse.  If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, please tell your doctor so that the dosage of Tenofed Capsule can be prescribed accordingly.

Tenofed Capsule treats hypertension (high blood pressure), consisting of Atenolol (beta-blocker) and Nifedipine (calcium channel blocker). Atenolol works by blocking the release of stress hormones (like adrenaline or non-adrenaline), thereby relieving angina (chest pain) and uneven heartbeats (arrhythmias).  Atenolol also protects the heart during the treatment of a heart attack.  Nifedipine works by relaxing the blood vessels; this lowers your blood pressure and reduces your risk of having a stroke, a heart attack, other heart problems, or kidney problems in the future. This medicine needs to be taken regularly to be effective and also for the best results. Thus, Tenofed Capsule reduces raised blood pressure by minimizing fluid overload (oedema) and reducing the heart's blood-pumping activity.

Do not use Tenofed Capsule if you are allergic to Tenofed Capsule or any of its components. Let your doctor know if you have any history of severe kidney or liver diseases, low potassium levels (hypokalaemia), chest pain (angina), poor blood circulation or controlled heart failure, first-degree heart block, diabetes, thyrotoxicosis (a condition caused by an overactive thyroid gland), liver problems, and adrenal gland diseases. Let your doctor know if you have anuria (kidneys aren't producing urine), fluid or electrolyte imbalance, lupus erythematosus (an autoimmune inflammatory disease-causing scaly red patches on the skin), gout, abnormal heart rhythms, thyroid disorders, and asthma before starting Tenofed Capsule . It is essential to let your doctor know if you are a breastfeeding mother before using Tenofed Capsule since Indapamide may pass into the breast milk. Please ask your doctor if you plan to conceive or are pregnant before using Tenofed Capsule . Tenofed Capsule can increase the chances of light-headedness so rise slowly if you are sitting/lying and avoid operating any machine or doing any work that needs mental alertness.
