Description

Cardiolite Plus (50mg/12.5mg) Tablets is a prescription medicine containing Atenolol 50mg and Chlorthalidone 12.5mg. It is used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension) when a single medicine does not provide adequate control. This combination helps lower blood pressure effectively and reduces the risk of complications such as heart attack, stroke, heart failure, and kidney damage associated with uncontrolled hypertension.

Atenolol is a beta-blocker that slows the heart rate and reduces the force of the heart’s contractions, decreasing the heart’s workload. Chlorthalidone is a thiazide-like diuretic that helps remove excess salt and water from the body through urine, reducing fluid retention and lowering blood pressure. Together, these medicines provide better blood pressure control than either medicine alone.

For the best treatment results, take Cardiolite Plus exactly as prescribed by your healthcare provider. Continue following a healthy lifestyle that includes a low-salt diet, regular exercise, maintaining a healthy weight, and routine blood pressure monitoring. Do not stop taking this medicine suddenly without consulting your doctor, as abrupt discontinuation may worsen certain heart conditions.
