Slow heart rate
Cold extremities: You might feel cold in your hands and feet.

Managing the Side Effects:

Most side effects are temporary and generally harmless, which resolve upon discontinuing the use of Atecard D Tablet. However, if you experience any serious side effects or worsening of any of the symptoms, please consult your doctor. Here are some guidelines for managing common side effects:

Atecard D Tablet is a combination medicine that contains two active ingredients, each playing an important role in controlling hypertension:

Atenolol (50 mg): This is a selective beta-1 adrenergic receptor blocker that reduces the workload on your heart and lowers its oxygen demand. By lessening the effects of the sympathetic nervous system on your heart, atenolol efficiently reduces your heart rate and blood pressure.
Chlorthalidone (12.5 mg): A long-acting diuretic, chlorthalidone increases the excretion of sodium, chloride, and water from the kidneys. This decreases blood volume and reduces peripheral vascular resistance, effectively lowering blood pressure.

Pregnancy

Caution is advised while taking Atecard D Tablet if you are pregnant. It is best to consult your doctor before taking this medicine.

Breastfeeding

If you are breastfeeding, it is advisable to speak with your doctor before starting Atecard D Tablet.

Alcohol

Liver

If you have liver problems, discuss them with your doctor before starting Atecard D Tablet. This medicine can influence liver function.

Kidney

Using Machines & Driving

This medicine might make you feel dizzy or tired. Be cautious while driving or operating heavy machinery until you know how it affects you.

Avoid using this medicine if you are allergic to atenolol, chlorthalidone, or any other component of Atecard D Tablet.

Children
