What is Atenolol-Chlorthalidone?
Atenolol-Chlorthalidone is a generic prescription drug that treats hypertension – elevated blood pressure – by slowing the heart and flushing water from the body. As a combination antihypertensive drug, it is prescribed only when patients have not met blood pressure goals using only a single-drug therapy, called “monotherapy.”
Atenolol belongs to a class of medications called beta blockers, which block the effects of adrenaline. Adrenaline stimulates the heart to beat, so blocking adrenaline both slows the heart rate and reduces the strength of individual heartbeats. As a result, the heart “pushes” blood into the arteries with less force, causing blood pressure to decline.
Chlorthalidone is a thiazide diuretic that prevents the kidneys from reabsorbing water and salt back into the bloodstream. The amount of urine increases and more water than normal is removed from the body. As water and salt decrease in the bloodstream, blood pressure goes down. Thiazide diuretics are among the safest antihypertensive drugs and are often the first to be prescribed for the condition.
Atenolol-Chlorthalidone is taken as a tablet once daily.
What are the side effects of Atenolol-Chlorthalidone?
While medicines may have side effects, many people experience no side effects, or the side effects they experience are very minimal. The most common side effects of Atenolol-Chlorthalidone include dizziness, nausea, decreased sex drive, impotence, slow heartbeat, diarrhea, feeling tired, headache, upset stomach, and constipation. More serious but rare side effects include dehydration, low potassium, and low sodium, and electrolyte imbalance, all effects of the diuretic. Because atenolol slows the heart, serious side effects can result if the heart slows down too much. Mental and mood changes include insomnia. Allergic reactions are rare and include swelling, rash, and shortness of breath. This is not a complete list of side effects that may occur. Consult with your doctor or pharmacist about possible side effects before taking this medicine.
