Aten-D, Atenolol/ Indapamide

Atenolol is used in the treatment of angina, arrhythmia, heart attack and increased blood pressure.

Atenolol works by blocking tiny areas called the beta-adrenergic receptors, where messages sent by some nerves are received by the heart and blood vessels. Atenolol causes the heart beats more slowly and with less force. Thus leading to pressure of blood within your blood vessels to be reduced and it is easier for the heart to pump blood around the body.

Patients who take Atenolol may suffer from such side effects;

Nausea,
Headache,
Fatigue,
Slow heart rate,
Breathlessness,
Diarrhoea,
Palpitations,
Abdominal pain,
Dizziness,
Constipation

Indapamide is used in fluid retention (edema), heart failure, hypertension and kidney stone.

Indapamide works by eliminating excess fluids from the body, which then helps to reduce hypertension. Indapamide also works by widening or dilating blood vessels. By widening the blood vessels, Indapamide reduces the pressure inside the blood vessels and over time this leads to a lowering of high blood pressure.

Patients who take Indapamide may suffer from such side effects;

Headache,
Dizziness,
Lightheadedness,
Tingling sensations,
Nervousness,
Agitation,
Blurry vision,
Unusual heartbeat,
Impotence,
Dehydration,
