HOW TENORIC 50MG TABLET WORKS

TENORIC 50MG TABLET contains two medicines namely atenolol and chlorthalidone. Atenolol blocks the effects of certain hormones (adrenaline) in the body that naturally increases heart rate. This action slows down the heartbeat and makes the heart to pump blood with a lesser force.

Chlorthalidone works by removing the excess fluids from the body in the form of urine. This action reduces the thickness of the blood, which helps in making them flow easily across the blood vessels when pumped by the heart even at a lesser force.
