About Atpure D 25 mg/12.5 mg Tablet

ATENOLOL+HYDROCHLOROTHIAZIDE belongs to a class of medicines known as blood pressure-lowering medicine. ATENOLOL+HYDROCHLOROTHIAZIDE 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.

ATENOLOL+HYDROCHLOROTHIAZIDE 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.

Medicinal Benefits of Atpure D 25 mg/12.5 mg Tablet

ATENOLOL+HYDROCHLOROTHIAZIDE 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.
