About Aten-H 25 Tablet 10's

Aten-H 25 Tablet 10's belongs to a class of medicines known as blood pressure-lowering medicine. Aten-H 25 Tablet 10's is primarily used to treat high blood pressure. Hypertension or high blood pressure is a chronic condition in which the force exerted by the blood against the artery wall is high. As a result, it leads to heart diseases, irregular heartbeat, and other complications.

Aten-H 25 Tablet 10's contains two medicines: atenolol and hydrochlorothiazide which collectively lowers blood pressure. Atenolol is a beta-blocker that works specifically on the heart to slow down the heart rate. Hydrochlorothiazide (diuretic) works by increasing the amount of urine passed out from the kidneys. It effectively reduces excess fluid overload in the body and treats edema (swelling) associated with heart, liver, kidney, or lung disease. This reduces the heart's workload and makes the heart more efficient at pumping blood throughout the body. Thus, collectively, both help lower high blood pressure, reducing heart attack, or stroke chances.

Take Aten-H 25 Tablet 10's as prescribed by your doctor. You are advised to take Aten-H 25 Tablet 10's for as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you depending on your medical conditions. You may experience headache, nausea, fatigue, cold extremities (hand and feet become cold), dizziness, decreased potassium level in the blood, increased blood uric acid, slow heart rate, glucose intolerance, decreased sodium level in the blood, increased calcium level in the blood, decreased magnesium level in the blood, increased blood lipid level. Most of these side effects of Aten-H 25 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.

Uses of Aten-H 25 Tablet 10's

High blood pressure (hypertension), Heart attack, Angina (chest pain)

Medicinal Benefits

Aten-H 25 Tablet 10's is an anti-hypertensive medicine that treats high blood pressure (hypertension). It contains two anti-hypertensive medicines, namely: Atenolol, and Hydrochlorothiazide. Atenolol is a beta-blocker and is used to treat high blood pressure, angina (chest pain) and uneven heartbeats (arrhythmias). It blocks the action of some substance such as epinephrine or adrenaline that is released during extreme emotions. This helps in lowering the blood pressure, heart rate, and strain on the heart. It reduces the heart rate and makes the heart pump blood effectively throughout the body. Atenolol is also used to protect the heart during treatment of a heart attack. Hydrochlorothiazide belongs to the class of diuretics (water pill) with antihypertensive activity. It inhibits sodium reabsorption from absorbing in the kidneys and increases the excretion of sodium, potassium electrolytes, water, and hydrogen ions. Hydrochlorothiazide effectively treats high blood pressure, fluid retention in patients with congestive heart failure, cirrhosis (chronic damage) of the liver, kidney disorders, or edema caused by steroids or estrogen therapy.

Disease/Condition Glossary

Hypertension: It is a chronic condition when blood pressure is too high. This condition can lead to hardened arteries (blood vessels), decreasing the blood and oxygen flow to the heart. Blood pressure is the measurement of the force that our heart uses to pump blood to all parts of the body. Raised blood pressure can cause chest pain (angina) and heart attack (when blood supply to the heart is blocked). Additionally, high blood pressure also causes brain damage (stroke) and kidney failure. High blood pressure can be diagnosed with the help of a blood pressure monitor or sphygmomanometer. Systolic pressure is the pressure when the heart pumps blood out. On the other hand, diastolic pressure is the pressure when your heart is at the resting stage between heartbeats. If your blood pressure is 140/90 mm of Hg, it means the systolic pressure is 140 mm of Hg and, diastolic pressure is 90 mm of Hg. Ideal blood pressure should be between 90/60 mm of Hg and 120/80 mm of Hg.
