About TENORIC 100MG TABLET

TENORIC 100MG TABLET belongs to the class of medicines called 'antihypertensive agents' used to treat high blood pressure. Hypertension is a chronic medical condition when blood pressure is too high. Blood pressure is the measurement of the force that the heart uses to pump blood to all body parts. If the blood pressure becomes uncontrolled, it may cause serious heart problems like heart attack, and kidney failure. 

TENORIC 100MG TABLET contains Atenolol and Chlortalidone. Atenolol is a beta-blocker that acts by altering the response to nerve impulses in the heart. Consequently, the heart beats slower and lowers the blood pressure. Chlortalidone is a diuretic (water pill) that reduces the amount of water (fluid) in the body by boosting the volume of urine produced by the kidneys, which helps to lower blood pressure. As a result, TENORIC 100MG TABLET aids in blood pressure regulation.

Take TENORIC 100MG TABLET as prescribed. Some people may experience low heart rate (slower-than-expected heart rate), cold extremities, diarrhoea, nausea, and fatigue (feeling tired). Most of these side effects do not need medical treatment and fade away with time. If the side effects persist or worsen, consult the doctor.

Do not take TENORIC 100MG TABLET if you are allergic to atenolol, chlorthalidone, or any other ingredients in this medication, or if you have ever had second or third-degree heart block, very slow or uneven heartbeats, severe kidney disorder, metabolic acidosis (higher than normal levels of acid in the blood), or phaeochromocytoma (a tumour of adrenal glands). It is not recommended to take TENORIC 100MG TABLET if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Please inform your doctor if you are taking any other medications or are allergic to any medications. TENORIC 100MG TABLET should not be given to children.

Medicinal Benefits

TENORIC 100MG TABLET belongs to the class of medicines called 'antihypertensive agents' used to treat high blood pressure. TENORIC 100MG TABLET contains Atenolol and Chlortalidone. Atenolol is a beta-blocker that acts by altering the response to nerve impulses in certain regions of the body, such as the heart. Consequently, the heart beats slower and lowers the blood pressure. When blood pressure is reduced, the amount of blood and oxygen delivered to the heart increases. On the other hand, Chlortalidone is a diuretic (water pill) that reduces the amount of water (fluid) in the body by boosting the volume of urine produced by the kidneys, which helps to lower blood pressure. As a result, TENORIC 100MG TABLET aids in blood pressure regulation.
