Twincard 50/25 is a combination of two blood-pressure lowering medicines: Atenolol and Chlorthalidone. Atenolol is a beta blocker which works specifically on the heart to reduce heart rate and make the heart more efficient at pumping blood throughout the body. Chlorthalidone is a diuretic which lowers blood pressure by removing extra water and certain electrolytes from the body. Over time it also relaxes blood vessels and improves blood flow.

Beta-blocker can depress myocardial contractility; continued use in patients without history of cardiac failure may in some cases, lead to cardiac failure. Caution in patients receiving anaesthetic agents that may depress myocardium. In patients with coronary artery disease, abrupt withdrawal may cause angina pectoris exacerbation, MI. Atenolol may mask signs (tachycardia) of hypoglycaemia and thyrotoxicosis. Latent DM may manifest with Chlorthalidone therapy. Chlorthalidone can cause hyperuricaemia and precipitate gout. Monitor renal functions, potassium levels, and signs of fluid and electrolytes imbalance. Discontinue if progressive renal impairment is evident. Not recommended in pregnancy and lactation. Safety and efficacy in paediatric patients have not been established. Lactation: excreted in breast milk, use caution

Renal Dose

Atenolol is a beta-blocker that acts preferentially on the ?1 adrenergic receptors in the heart. Chlorthalidone is a thiazide-like diuretic that reduces BP possibly by inhibiting sodium reabsorption at the beginning of the distal convulated tubule.
