Atecard D Tablet is a combination medication used to treat hypertension, commonly known as high blood pressure. It is prescribed when a single medicine does not effectively control blood pressure. By managing hypertension, this tablet helps reduce the risk of serious complications such as heart attacks and strokes. Taking Atecard D regularly as advised by your doctor is important because high blood pressure often has no obvious symptoms. Even if you feel well, stopping the medication on your own can worsen your condition.

How Atecard D Tablet works
Atecard D Tablet combines two medicines: Atenolol and Chlorthalidone. Atenolol is a beta-blocker that specifically targets the heart. It slows the heart rate and makes the heart pump blood more efficiently, reducing the force of each heartbeat. This effect helps lower blood pressure. On the other hand, Chlorthalidone is a diuretic that increases urine output by removing excess water and certain electrolytes, such as sodium, from the body. This removal of extra fluid helps reduce blood volume and pressure. Over time, Chlorthalidone also relaxes blood vessels, improving blood flow throughout the body. Together, these medicines work synergistically to manage blood pressure effectively and protect vital organs.
