CompositionTenoric 50 Tablet is used to manage high blood pressure in adults when a single medicine is not enough, lowering the long-term risk of heart attack and stroke. It is a combination medicine containing atenolol and chlorthalidone, and belongs to the classes of beta-blockers and diuretics.
This medicine slows the heart rate and helps the body remove excess fluid, which lowers blood pressure. Take it as prescribed. Use the dose, frequency and duration prescribed by your doctor.
Reducing salt in your diet, staying physically active, maintaining a healthy weight and limiting alcohol support blood pressure control alongside this medicine.
Tell your doctor about any asthma, diabetes, thyroid problems, gout or low body salts before starting this medicine, as it can mask the warning signs of low blood sugar, and about any other medicines, supplements or herbal products you take. Speak to your doctor if you are pregnant, planning a pregnancy or breastfeeding. Your doctor may check your body salts. Report a very slow pulse or breathlessness, and report any side effects that persist or become serious. Do not stop taking this medicine suddenly or unless your doctor advises you to do so, as this can cause blood pressure to rise quickly, which is risky if you have heart disease.
