Atenolol + Chlortalidone is a combination drug that is made of atenolol (a beta blocker drug) and chlortalidone (a thiazide-like diuretic). This drug is used to treat hypertension. Atenolol is a beta-blocker drug that acts specially on the beta 1 adrenergic receptors in the heart. Chlorthalidone is a thiazide-like diuretic that diminishes blood pressure perhaps by restraining sodium reabsorption toward the start of the distal convulated tubule. The two medications bring about enhanced antihypertensive activity.
