Tenoretic Product Description

Drug Uses

Tenoretic is an antihypertensive agent containing fixed doses of two active ingredients - Atenolol and Chlorthalidone.

• Atenolol is a beta-blocker with antihypertensive and antianginal activity.
• Chlorthalidone is a thiazide-like diuretic with prolonged diuretic and pronounced antihypertensive effects.

Tenoretic combination drug is approved for hypertension treatment in patients who do not manage to reduce high blood pressure and effectively manage cardiovascular risks by means of one antihypertensive agent. Due to the fact that Tenoretic reduces blood pressure, this drug helps to reduce cardiovascular morbidity and risk of fatal cardiovascular events, including strokes and myocardial infarctions.

For maintenance therapy of hypertension, single daily doses of Tenoretic 50mg/25mg or Tenoretic 100mg/25mg are used. Tenoretic tablets are not used to decrease cardiovascular and cerebrovascular risks in children.

Missed Dose

In case if you miss a tablet of Tenoretic, do not use the double dose if it is almost time for the next scheduled dose of this antihypertensive agent. If the delay in Tenoretic intake does not exceed 12 hours, take the needed dose immediately as it is possible.

More Information

Renal insufficiency significantly reduces the antihypertensive effect of Tenoretic (Atenolol; Chlorthalidone) fixed-dose combination tablets. Therefore, for the treatment of hypertension associated with severe renal insufficiency, other antihypertensive drugs should be used instead of Tenoretic.

Storage

Store Tenoretic tablets at room temperature from 15°C to 25°C in an original well-closed package in order to protect this antihypertensive agent from moisture, light and heat.
