Atenolol 50 mg + Hydrochlorothiazide 12.5 mg (per tablet)
Treatment of hypertension (high blood pressure); helps reduce risk of stroke, heart attack and kidney problems related to uncontrolled BP
Atenolol is a beta-1 selective beta-blocker that slows heart rate and reduces the force of contraction, lowering blood pressure. Hydrochlorothiazide is a thiazide diuretic that increases salt and water excretion, reducing fluid volume and vascular resistance.
Take by mouth as prescribed, usually once daily at the same time each day. Can be taken with or without food; swallow with water. Do not stop suddenly without medical advice.
Common side effects of ATEN D TAB may include:
Use with caution in diabetes (may mask hypoglycaemia symptoms), asthma/COPD (beta-blockers may worsen bronchospasm), kidney or liver impairment, gout, electrolyte imbalance, and in the elderly. Monitor blood pressure, pulse, electrolytes, renal function and blood glucose periodically. Do not discontinue abruptly (risk of rebound hypertension/angina). Seek help for severe dizziness, fainting, very slow pulse, wheeze, or signs of dehydration.
