How Atenolol + Chlortalidone works

What is Atenolol + Chlortalidone used for?

• High blood pressure

Atenolol + Chlortalidone is used to lower high blood pressure when a single medicine has not controlled it well enough. Keeping blood pressure under control reduces the risk of heart attack, stroke and kidney damage over time. It works best alongside lifestyle changes such as reducing salt, staying active and stopping smoking.
