Tenoric 100 + 25 mg Tablet

Tenoric 100 + 25 mg Tablet is a combination medicine that contains atenolol 100 mg and chlorthalidone 25 mg in each tablet. It belongs to the beta-blocker and thiazide-like diuretic drug classes and is used to help treat high blood pressure. By lowering blood pressure, Tenoric 100 + 25 mg Tablet can also help reduce the strain on the heart and lower the risk of complications from hypertension. This exact tablet is a fixed-dose prescription product, so the amount of each ingredient is already set in every tablet.

How it works: Atenolol helps slow the heart rate and reduce the force of each heartbeat, which lowers blood pressure. Chlorthalidone helps the body remove extra salt and water through the urine, which also reduces blood pressure in this tablet form.

The Tenoric 100 + 25 mg Tablet is a relatively higher-strength combination because it contains atenolol 100 mg plus chlorthalidone 25 mg in one tablet. It is generally chosen for people whose blood pressure needs this stronger fixed dose, or for patients who are already stabilized on these ingredient amounts and do not need a lower-strength tablet. A doctor may prefer this tablet when a single daily combination is appropriate instead of using separate medicines.

• High blood pressure (hypertension)
• Blood pressure control in adults

• It may be taken with or without food, but taking it consistently the same way can help.
