What is Tenoretic 100
AtenololThe Generic name of this drug
Treatment SummaryAtenolol is a type of medication called a beta-blocker. It was developed in the 1980s and is used to treat various cardiovascular conditions. Research has shown that it may not be as effective as other medications in preventing cardiovascular disease and mortality in patients with high blood pressure. Atenolol may be more beneficial for some patients than others, depending on their age and other factors.

Effectiveness
How Tenoretic 100 Affects PatientsAtenolol is a type of drug used to slow down the heart rate, reduce electrical conductivity, and lower the amount of work that the heart needs to do. This helps reduce the mismatch between oxygen supply and demand and can provide relief from angina pectoris symptoms. It also helps control arrhythmic conditions like atrial fibrillation. Atenolol also helps lower blood pressure, though not as much as other types of beta-blockers, and it does not act on the blood vessels directly. Common side effects of atenolol include fatigue, depression, and sleep disturbances. It can also cause
How Tenoretic 100 works in the bodyAtenolol is a type of drug called a beta-blocker. It binds to beta receptors in the body, particularly those in the heart, and blocks them from responding to normal signals. By blocking these signals, atenolol helps reduce the heart rate and increase the strength of each beat. It also relaxes the smooth muscles of the bronchial tubes, which can help with breathing. Atenolol works by inhibiting certain proteins that control heart rate, contraction strength, and other important processes in the body.

Tenoretic 100 Reviews: What are patients saying about Tenoretic 100?
5Patient Review
4/8/2012 I found this medication effective at keeping my blood pressure low; however, it made me feel very sleepy and tired. I also had to urinate frequently.
4.7Patient Review
6/9/2011 Though it caused some pretty severe side effects like dry mouth and anxiety, this medication did lower my blood pressure from 150/100 to 130/90. It also helped remove the excess water weight I was carrying around in my face, legs, and ankles.
4.3Patient Review
5/27/2009 For two years, this was the only treatment that helped my high blood pressure. However, I developed diabetes and high uric acid levels, which may be due to the chlorthalidone.
4.3Patient Review
2/13/2009 This treatment effectively solved my high blood pressure problem, which was likely due to genetics.

3.7Patient Review
7/2/2010 Since using Tenoretic, I have had to urinate 60-80 times per day. This has also resulted in me chronic bed-wetting and needing 20-30 adult diapers each day.

Is tenoretic the same as atenolol?
"This slows down the heart rate and decreases the force of heart muscle contraction. Chlorthalidone is a thiazide "water pill" (diuretic) that helps prevent your body from absorbing too much salt and keeps your potassium levels from getting too low.
Tenoretic is a combination of Atenolol, a selective beta blocker, and Chlorthalidone, a thiazide diuretic. Atenolol works by blocking certain natural compounds that may bind to receptors on the heart, which slows down the heart rate and decreases the force of heart muscle contraction. Chlorthalidone helps prevent your body from absorbing too much salt and keeps your potassium levels from getting too low."
