TENORETIC (ATENOLOL/CHLORTHALIDONE)

Description of Tenoretic

Tenoretic or generic Atenolol/Chlorthalidone is a combination medication that includes a beta-blocker and a diuretic commonly prescribed to treat high blood pressure, also called hypertension. Hypertension is a chronic condition that causes tremendous pressure in your arteries, requiring your heart to work overtime trying to circulate blood through your blood vessels. This drives up your blood pressure and can cause a shortened life expectancy if left untreated. The generic alternative is not manufactured by the company that makes the brand product.

How Each Drug in Tenoretic Works to Lower Blood Pressure

Atenolol is the beta-blocker that works by blocking the function of epinephrine, a hormone that is responsible for restricting your blood flow to certain areas of your body while raising the blood flow to your muscles. This prepares your body for the fight-or-flight response to a threat. Without this action occurring, the number of heart beats is less and the force of them is reduced.

The diuretic, Chlorthalidone, works on certain areas of your kidneys to encourage urination as a way for your body to get rid of excess salt and water. Chlorthalidone also dilates your blood vessels to improve the blood flow and ease the force that can raise your blood pressure. Taking Tenoretic or Atenolol/Chlorthalidone generic as directed can lower your risk of heart attack, stroke, or kidney disease.

Diagnosis and Treatment are Vital

Unfortunately, hypertension seldom displays any symptoms that would alert you to the fact your blood pressure is high. Quite often people are blissfully unaware until a physical exam reveals that they are in danger of heart disease or stroke. There are no cures for hypertension, but lifestyle changes and medication can help reduce your blood pressure and avoid other health risks. Quit smoking, exercise, eat healthy, and take Tenoretic or generic Atenolol/Chlorthalidone as prescribed.

Before You Take Tenoretic

Ask your doctor if there are any risks while taking Tenoretic if you are pregnant, may become pregnant, or are breast feeding. Disclose other medical conditions or allergies you have to your doctor and list any OTC or Rx drugs you take, including herbal remedies and dietary or vitamin supplements to determine if Tenoretic is safe for you.

Things You Should Know While Taking Tenoretic

Until you know how Tenoretic will affect your body, you should not drive, operate machinery, or attempt any task that could be considered risky if your mental capacity is diminished temporarily. You should not start, stop, or change the dosage of any of your medications without your doctor’s knowledge or you could be at risk for adverse reactions.
