Last Updated Jan 1, 2025 | 2:50 PM IST
TENOCHLOR 50MG TABLET is used to treat high blood pressure. It contains Atenolol and Chlortalidone, which acts by altering the response to nerve impulses in the heart. Consequently, the heart beats slower and lowers the blood pressure. Also, it reduces the amount of water (fluid) in the body by boosting the volume of urine produced by the kidneys, which helps to lower blood pressure. As a result, it aids in blood pressure regulation. Some people may experience low heart rate (slower-than-expected heart rate), cold extremities, diarrhoea, nausea, and fatigue (feeling tired). Before taking this medicine, you should tell your doctor if you are allergic to any of its components or if you are pregnant/breastfeeding, and about all the medications you are taking and pre-existing medical conditions.

About TENOCHLOR 50MG TABLET

TENOCHLOR 50MG TABLET belongs to the class of medicines called 'antihypertensive agents' used to treat high blood pressure. Hypertension is a chronic medical condition when blood pressure is too high. Blood pressure is the measurement of the force that the heart uses to pump blood to all body parts. If the blood pressure becomes uncontrolled, it may cause serious heart problems like heart attack, and kidney failure. 

TENOCHLOR 50MG TABLET contains Atenolol and Chlortalidone. Atenolol is a beta-blocker that acts by altering the response to nerve impulses in the heart. Consequently, the heart beats slower and lowers the blood pressure. Chlortalidone is a diuretic (water pill) that reduces the amount of water (fluid) in the body by boosting the volume of urine produced by the kidneys, which helps to lower blood pressure. As a result, TENOCHLOR 50MG TABLET aids in blood pressure regulation.

Take TENOCHLOR 50MG TABLET as prescribed. Some people may experience low heart rate (slower-than-expected heart rate), cold extremities, diarrhoea, nausea, and fatigue (feeling tired). Most of these side effects do not need medical treatment and fade away with time. If the side effects persist or worsen, consult the doctor.

Do not take TENOCHLOR 50MG TABLET if you are allergic to atenolol, chlorthalidone, or any other ingredients in this medication, or if you have ever had second or third-degree heart block, very slow or uneven heartbeats, severe kidney disorder, metabolic acidosis (higher than normal levels of acid in the blood), or phaeochromocytoma (a tumour of adrenal glands).
