Tenoclor 50 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 diseases like brain damage (stroke), heart attack, and kidney failure. 

Tenoclor 50 Tablet contains Atenolol and Chlorthalidone. 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. Chlorthalidone 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, Tenoclor 50 Tablet  aids in blood pressure regulation.

Tenoclor 50 Tablet belongs to the class of medicines called 'antihypertensive agents' used to treat high blood pressure. Tenoclor 50 Tablet contains Atenolol and Chlorthalidone. Atenolol is a beta-blocker that acts by altering the response to nerve impulses in certain regions of the body, such as the heart. Consequently, the heart beats slower and lowers the blood pressure. When blood pressure is reduced, the amount of blood and oxygen delivered to the heart increases. On the other hand, Chlorthalidone 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, Tenoclor 50 Tablet  aids in blood pressure regulation.

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. When the heart pumps more blood, the arteries become narrower, and blood pressure becomes high. If the blood pressure becomes uncontrolled, it may cause serious heart diseases like brain damage (stroke), heart attacks, and kidney failure.
