What is atenolol-chlorthalidone and how does it work?

Atenolol-chlorthalidone is a fixed-dose combination tablet that pairs two blood pressure medicines in one pill. Atenolol is a cardioselective beta-1 blocker that slows the heart rate and eases the heart's workload, and chlorthalidone is a thiazide-like diuretic ("water pill") that helps your body clear extra salt and fluid. Together they lower blood pressure more effectively than either alone. It is the generic equivalent of the brand Tenoretic.

It is FDA-approved to treat hypertension (high blood pressure). It is generally used when a single medicine has not controlled blood pressure adequately, and it is not intended as a first medication for newly diagnosed patients. Lowering blood pressure helps reduce the risk of serious cardiovascular events such as stroke and heart attack.

Atenolol-chlorthalidone cost without insurance

Because atenolol-chlorthalidone is available as a generic, it is one of the lower-cost blood pressure combinations, even if you are paying cash without insurance. The catch is that pharmacies set their own cash prices, and the difference between two stores in the same town can be significant. That is exactly why comparing matters.

Rx.com compares discount prices at more than 60,000 pharmacies so you do not have to call around. Enter your ZIP above to see today's price at pharmacies near you, then show the free Rx.com coupon at the counter. There is no membership fee and no insurance required.

Related and alternative blood pressure medications

Atenolol-chlorthalidone combines two drugs that are also sold separately, and there are several related options your provider may consider:

• Atenolol alone, the beta-blocker component
• Chlorthalidone alone, the diuretic component
• Hydrochlorothiazide, another thiazide diuretic
• Lisinopril-hydrochlorothiazide, an ACE inhibitor plus diuretic combination
• Metoprolol, another commonly used beta-blocker

Only your provider can decide which medication and dose is right for you. Whichever you are prescribed, you can compare its price on Rx.com.

Important safety information

This is a summary, not medical advice; always follow your provider's directions. Do not stop taking atenolol-chlorthalidone suddenly. Stopping the beta-blocker abruptly can worsen chest pain (angina) and, in some people, trigger a heart attack or an abnormal heart rhythm, so any change should be tapered over one to two weeks under medical guidance. It can slow the heart rate too much, lower blood pressure, or cause heart block, and it should not be used in people with very slow heart rate, certain types of heart block, uncontrolled heart failure, or cardiogenic shock.

Use caution if you have asthma or COPD, as it may trigger wheezing; if you have diabetes, since it can mask a fast heartbeat that warns of low blood sugar; or an overactive thyroid, whose symptoms it can also mask. The chlorthalidone part can affect electrolytes such as potassium, sodium, and magnesium, and may raise uric acid (gout), blood sugar, or cholesterol; tell your provider if you have a sulfa allergy, kidney or liver problems. It should be avoided in pregnancy. This medication does not carry an FDA boxed warning. Report side effects and questions to your healthcare provider.
