About Aten-D Tablet 10's

Aten-D Tablet 10's belongs to the class of combination medication called 'anti-hypertensive drugs', primarily used to treat hypertension (high blood pressure). Hypertension is a medical condition, in which the blood exerts high pressure (force exerted by circulating blood) against blood vessel's walls. This condition makes the heart to work harder in pumping the blood to the whole body. Hypertension can cause severe health complications, including stroke, heart failure, heart attack and kidney failure.

Aten-D Tablet 10's contains Atenolol (beta-blocker) and Indapamide (diuretic or water pill). Atenolol belongs to the class of 'beta-blockers' and is used to treat high blood pressure, angina (chest pain) and uneven heartbeats (arrhythmias). It reduces the heart rate and makes the heart to pump blood efficiently throughout the body. Atenolol is also used to protect the heart during treatment of a heart attack. Indapamide is a thiazide diuretic that inhibits excess salt absorption in the body, resulting in increased chloride, sodium and water excretion through urine. This diuresis process (increased urine production) and excess salts and fluid removal help lower blood pressure. Indapamide is also used to treat fluid retention and overlaod (oedema) in patients with congestive heart failure.

You can take Aten-D Tablet 10's with food or without food. Swallow it as a whole with a glass of water. Do not chew, bite, or break it. Your doctor will advise you how often you take Aten-D Tablet 10's based on your medical condition. In some cases, you may experience blurred vision, sweating, tiredness, dehydration, constipation, dizziness, headache, nausea, cold hands or feet and muscle cramps. Most of these side effects of Aten-D Tablet 10's do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects are persistent, reach out to your doctor.

Do not stop taking Aten-D Tablet 10's without consulting your doctor since it may worsen your condition and increase the risk of future heart problems. Inform your doctor if you are suffering from kidney, liver or heart diseases, diabetes, gout and asthma. Please tell your doctor if you are taking any other medicines or have any allergic reactions to Aten-D Tablet 10's. Reducing the amount of table salt (sodium chloride) in your food often relieves the body's swelling. Let your doctor know if you use any prescription and non-prescription medications you are taking, including vitamins, before starting Aten-D Tablet 10's. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, please tell your doctor so that the dosage of Aten-D Tablet 10's can be prescribed accordingly.

Uses of Aten-D Tablet 10's

Hypertension (high blood pressure).

Medicinal Benefits

Aten-D Tablet 10's treats hypertension (high blood pressure) and consists of Atenolol (beta-blocker) and Indapamide (diuretic or water pill). Atenolol is a 'beta-blocker' that treats high blood pressure by blocking the release of stress hormones (like adrenaline or non-adrenaline) thereby relieving angina (chest pain) and uneven heartbeats (arrhythmias). Indapamide is a thiazide diuretic that inhibits excess salt absorption in the body, resulting in increased electrolytes and water excretion through urine. Indapamide is also used to treat fluid retention (oedema) in patients with congestive heart failure. Thus, Aten-D Tablet 10's reduces raised blood pressure by minimizing fluid overload (oedema) and reducing the heart's blood-pumping activity.

Disease/Condition Glossary

Hypertension: It is a chronic condition when blood pressure is too high. Blood pressure is defined as the amount of blood pumped by the heart and the amount of resistance exerted by the arteries against the blood flow. If the heart pumps more blood, then arteries become narrower and in turn, blood pressure becomes high. If blood pressure becomes uncontrolled, it may lead to serious heart diseases, including stroke and heart attack. Additionally, high blood pressure can also cause brain damage (stroke) and kidney failure. Blood pressure is expressed as systolic and diastolic pressures. Systolic blood pressure represents the contraction and relaxation of the heart. Diastolic pressure is exerted in the blood vessels when the heart beats and is in the resting state. Ideal blood pressure should be between 90/60mmHg and 120/80mmHg. Hypertension is detected when systolic blood pressure is more than 140mmHg and diastolic pressure is higher than 90mmHg. Some of the symptoms of hypertension include headache, nose bleed, vomiting and chest pain.

Oedema: It is a condition caused by a build-up of fluid and swelling in the body parts, especially ankles, feet and legs.
