Composition

Atenolol (50 Mg) + Indapamide (2.5 Mg)

Aten-D Tablet is primarily used to manage hypertension, or high blood pressure. This combination medicine belongs to a class of medications known as antihypertensives.

In addition to its main use, this tablet also helps reduce the risk of future heart attacks, strokes, and kidney problems associated with high blood pressure. Given its dual-action components, it's particularly effective when single-ingredient therapy is insufficient.

Before you start taking this medicine, ensure that you consult your doctor for the correct dosage and frequency. It's important to let your doctor know about any ongoing treatments or preexisting conditions you might have. If you experience any side effects while on this medicine, inform your doctor right away. The key to achieving optimal results is to take the medication for the duration prescribed by your doctor.

The Aten-D Tablet is used for the following:

Management of high blood pressure or hypertension
Lowering the risk of future heart attack related to high blood pressure
Reducing the likelihood of stroke due to uncontrolled hypertension
Preventing kidney problems associated with persistent high blood pressure

Follow these instructions while taking the Aten-D Tablet:

Swallow the tablet whole with a glass of water.
Avoid crushing or chewing the tablet.
You can take it with or without food, preferably in the morning.
Do not stop taking this medicine without consulting your doctor first, even if you feel better.
Regular monitoring of your blood pressure is essential while using this medicine.

Aten-D Tablet is taken orally.

Aten-D Tablet may give rise to the following side effects:

Nausea
Indigestion
Diarrhoea
Stomach Pain
Constipation
Headache
Fatigue
Dizziness
Flu-like symptoms
Hands and feet might feel unusually cold
Swelling in your limbs, usually your legs

Managing the Side Effects:

Most side effects are temporary and generally harmless, which resolve on discontinuing the use of Aten-D Tablet. However, if you experience any serious side effects or worsening of any of the symptoms, please consult your doctor. Here are some tips to manage a couple of common side effects:

Indigestion: Try taking Aten-D Tablet after meals to lessen this effect.
Diarrhoea: Ensure you take Aten-D Tablet with food.

The Aten-D Tablet contains two active components that work together:

Atenolol (50 mg): This ingredient is a selective beta-1 adrenergic receptor blocker. It blocks certain chemicals in your heart and blood vessels, leading to a slower heartbeat and less forceful heart muscle contractions. As a result of this action, your heart has less workload, and your blood pressure decreases.
Indapamide (2.5 mg): Classified as a thiazide-like diuretic, indapamide functions by increasing the amount of salt and water excreted by your kidneys into your urine. By doing so, it reduces the volume of blood in circulation and relaxes your blood vessels to improve blood flow; both of these actions help lower your blood pressure.

Pregnancy

Aten-D Tablet is contraindicated during pregnancy. If you are pregnant or planning to conceive, make sure to discuss this with your doctor before starting this medicine.

Breastfeeding

It is best to avoid the use of Aten-D Tablet during breastfeeding, as it may pass into breast milk and affect the infant.

Alcohol

Alcohol should be avoided while you are taking Aten-D Tablet as it may increase the hypotensive effect and cause excessive drowsiness.

Liver

Caution is advised while taking Aten-D Tablet in case of mild to moderate liver impairment. If you have liver problems, discuss them with your doctor before starting this medication. This medicine may affect liver function.

Kidney

If you have a history of kidney problems, caution is advised before using Aten-D Tablet. It's a good idea to discuss any kidney related concerns with your doctor before taking this medicine.

Using Machines & Driving

This medicine may cause dizziness or fatigue. Therefore, caution is advised while driving or operating machinery when you are on Aten-D Tablet.

Allergy

If you have any known allergies to atenolol or indapamide, or any other ingredient in Aten-D Tablet, inform your doctor before starting the medication.

Children

Aten-D Tablet is intended for adult use. It's always best to consult your doctor before giving any medicine to children under 18 years of age.

Older Patients

Older patients should take Aten-D Tablet under medical supervision. They might be more susceptible to side effects and might also have liver and kidney issues. Caution is advised if patients are over 70 years of age. Your doctor will guide you based on your health status.

Daily Dose

The daily dose of Aten-D Tablet should be taken as instructed by your doctor. The dosage could vary depending on the severity of your condition and how you respond to the medicine. Always follow the prescribed dosage. For more specific details, please consult the package insert.

Over Dose

If you happen to take more than your prescribed dose of Aten-D Tablet, it might lead to overdose effects like dizziness, fatigue, and stomach upset. If these symptoms continue or worsen, contact your doctor.

Missed Dose

If you forget to take your regular dose of Aten-D Tablet, take it as soon as you remember. If it's nearly time for your next dose, skip the missed one and continue with your regular schedule. Don't increase your dosage without consulting your doctor.

Store your Aten-D Tablet at room temperature, ideally below 30°C.
Keep the medicine protected from light and moisture.
Ensure the medication is kept out of the reach of children.
Always use the Aten-D Tablet before its expiry date.

Aim to follow a low salt diet. This can help manage high blood pressure, the condition that Aten-D Tablet helps control.
Regular mild to moderate physical activities such as brisk walking or cycling can also contribute to better blood pressure management. Always consult your doctor before starting any new exercise regimen.
