Atenolol + Chlorthalidone(50 Mg, 12.5 Mg)
Uses
Hypertension, angina pectoris.Cardiac arrhythmias.Migraine prophylaxis.
How it works
Atenolol is a ?-blocker that acts preferentially on the ?1 adrenergic receptors in the heart. Chlorthalidone is a thiazide-like diuretic that reduces BP possibly by inhibiting sodium reabsorption at the beginning of the distal convulated tubule. Combination of the two drugs results in additive antihypertensive action.
Common side effects
Dyspnoea, wheeziness, bradycardia, hypotension, cold extremities, fatigue, dizziness, insomnia, lethargy, confusion, headache, depression, nightmares, nausea, diarrhoea, constipation, impotence, paraesthesia, rash, Raynaud's phenomenon. Chlorthalidone: Orthostatic hypotension, GI disturbances, jaundice, pancreatitis.
Who should not take
Sinus bradycardia, cardiogenic shock, anuria, hypersentivity to sulphonamide derivatives
