Atenolol / Chlorthalidone
Generic alternative to Tenoretic
Atenolol/chlorthalidone is a combination medication used primarily to treat high blood pressure (hypertension). It contains atenolol, a beta-blocker that helps reduce the heart rate, and chlorthalidone, a thiazide diuretic (water pill) that helps remove excess salt and water from the body, lowering blood pressure.
How is this medication used?
This medication is usually taken once a day, with or without food, as directed by a physician. It's important to take it at the same time each day to maintain an even level of medication in your blood. Do not stop taking this medication without consulting your doctor.
What are the possible side effects?
Common side effects include dizziness, lightheadedness, fatigue, nausea, and decreased sexual ability. Serious side effects can include easy bruising/bleeding, signs of infection (e.g., fever, persistent sore throat), breathing problems, severe dizziness, fainting, and symptoms of high potassium blood levels (such as muscle weakness, slow/irregular heartbeat).
What are the potential interactions?
The effectiveness of atenolol/chlorthalidone can be decreased by certain medications, including indomethacin and other NSAIDs (nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs), and it can increase the risk of lithium toxicity. Alcohol and marijuana can exacerbate the medication's side effects, such as dizziness. Consult your doctor about all the medications, supplements, and substances you are taking to ensure safe and effective treatment.
