About Atecard D Tablet

Atecard D 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. 

Atecard D 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, Atecard D Tablet  aids in blood pressure regulation.

Take Atecard D Tablet as prescribed. Some people may experience low heart rate (slower-than-expected heart rate), cold extremities, diarrhoea, nausea, and fatigue (feeling tired). Most of these side effects do not need medical treatment and fade away with time. If the side effects persist or worsen, consult the doctor.

Do not take Atecard D Tablet if you are allergic to atenolol, chlorthalidone, or any other ingredients in this medication, or if you have ever had second or third-degree heart block, very slow or uneven heartbeats, severe kidney disorder, metabolic acidosis (higher than normal levels of acid in the blood), or phaeochromocytoma (a tumour of adrenal glands). It is not recommended to take Atecard D Tablet if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Please inform your doctor if you are taking any other medications or are allergic to any medications.
