Atenolol/Chlorthalidone is available as a 50 mg/25 mg and 100 mg/25 mg oral tablet.

Atenolol/Chlorthalidone is a beta-blocker and diuretic that is used to treat high blood pressure.

Atenolol/Chlorthalidone is a combination of two different medications that both work to lower blood pressure. Atenolol is a cardioselective beta blocker. It works by blocking chemicals that attach to receptors on the heart. This slows down your heart rate and lowers your blood pressure. Chlorthalidone is a thiazide-like diuretic (water pill) that makes you urinate more. It works in the kidneys to remove extra water and salts, which then lowers blood pressure and swelling.

The typical starting dose of Atenolol/Chlorthalidone is 50 mg/25 mg (Atenolol/Chlorthalidone) by mouth once daily. Your provider might raise your dose slowly over time. The maximum recommended dose is Atenolol/Chlorthalidone 100 mg/25 mg (Atenolol/Chlorthalidone) once daily. Your dose might differ if you have kidney problems.

Atenolol/Chlorthalidone is a safe and effective treatment when used for FDA licensed indications. However, like all medications, they may give you unwanted side effects. You should always discuss potential side effects with your physician to ensure the medication is suitable and right for you. You should not use this medication if you have sinus
bradycardia, heart block greater than first degree, cardiogenic
shock, overt cardiac failure, anuria, or a hypersensitivity to this product or to sulfonamide-derived drugs.

Common side effects of Atenolol/Chlorthalidone:

• Dizziness
• Nausea
• Slow heartbeat
• Dizziness when standing up too quickly
• Stomach irritation or cramps
• Nausea
• Constipation

Serious side effects are rare with Atenolol/Chlorthalidone. Contact your healthcare provider immediately if you experience any of the following.

• Severe allergic reaction: difficulty breathing, swelling of the tongue, mouth, or throat, hives
• Heart failure: trouble breathing, swelling in the legs, ankles, or feet, feeling tired, unable to exercise
• Bronchospasm: tightness in the chest, trouble catching your breath, difficulty breathing, wheezing, cough, dizziness, extreme tiredness

The following medications may interact with Atenolol/Chlorthalidone:

• Atenolol/Chlorthalidone may potentiate the action of other
• antihypertensive agents used concomitantly. Patients treated with Atenolol/Chlorthalidone plus a catecholamine depletor (eg reserpine) should be closely observed for evidence of
• hypotension and/or marked bradycardia which may produce vertigo, syncope or postural hypotension.
• Calcium channel blockers may also have an additive effect when given with Atenolol/Chlorthalidone
• Disopyramide is a Type I antiarrhythmic drug with potent negative inotropic and chronotropic effects Disopyramide has been associated with severe bradycardia, asystole and heart failure when administered with beta blockers
• Amiodarone is an antiarrhythmic agent with negative
• chronotropic properties that may be additive to those seen with beta blockers
• Thiazides may decrease arterial responsiveness to
• norepinephrine. This diminution is not sufficient to preclude
• the therapeutic effectiveness of norepinephrine. Thiazides
• may increase the responsiveness to tubocurarine.
• Concomitant use of prostaglandin synthase inhibiting drugs
• eg, indomethacin, may decrease the hypotensive effects of beta blockers.
• Lithium generally should not be given with diuretics because they reduce its renal clearance and add a high risk of lithium toxicity. Read prescribing information for lithium preparations before use of such preparations with Atenolol/Chlorthalidone
• Beta blockers may exacerbate the rebound hypertension which can follow the withdrawal of clonidine
• Both digitalis glycosides and beta-blockers slow trioventricular conduction and decrease heart rate
• Concomitant use can increase the risk of bradycardia
