About Atelolo D Tablet 14's
Atelolo D Tablet 14's belongs to the class of combination medication called 'anti-hypertensive drugs', primarily used to treat hypertension (high blood pressure). Hypertension is a medical condition, in which the blood exerts high pressure (force exerted by circulating blood) against blood vessel's walls. This condition makes the heart to work harder in pumping the blood to the whole body. Hypertension can cause severe health complications, including stroke, heart failure, heart attack and kidney failure.
Atelolo D Tablet 14's contains Atenolol (beta-blocker) and Indapamide (diuretic or water pill). Atenolol belongs to the class of 'beta-blockers' and is used to treat high blood pressure, angina (chest pain) and uneven heartbeats (arrhythmias). It reduces the heart rate and makes the heart to pump blood efficiently throughout the body. Atenolol is also used to protect the heart during treatment of a heart attack. Indapamide is a thiazide diuretic that inhibits excess salt absorption in the body, resulting in increased chloride, sodium and water excretion through urine. This diuresis process (increased urine production) and excess salts and fluid removal help lower blood pressure. Indapamide is also used to treat fluid retention and overlaod (oedema) in patients with congestive heart failure.

Uses of Atelolo D Tablet 14's
Medicinal Benefits
Atelolo D Tablet 14's treats hypertension (high blood pressure) and consists of Atenolol (beta-blocker) and Indapamide (diuretic or water pill). Atenolol is a 'beta-blocker' that treats high blood pressure by blocking the release of stress hormones (like adrenaline or non-adrenaline) thereby relieving angina (chest pain) and uneven heartbeats (arrhythmias). Indapamide is a thiazide diuretic that inhibits excess salt absorption in the body, resulting in increased electrolytes and water excretion through urine. Indapamide is also used to treat fluid retention (oedema) in patients with congestive heart failure. Thus, Atelolo D Tablet 14's reduces raised blood pressure by minimizing fluid overload (oedema) and reducing the heart's blood-pumping activity.

Disease/Condition Glossary
Hypertension: It is a chronic condition when blood pressure is too high. Blood pressure is defined as the amount of blood pumped by the heart and the amount of resistance exerted by the arteries against the blood flow. If the heart pumps more blood, then arteries become narrower and in turn, blood pressure becomes high. If blood pressure becomes uncontrolled, it may lead to serious heart diseases, including stroke and heart attack. Additionally, high blood pressure can also cause brain damage (stroke) and kidney failure. Blood pressure is expressed as systolic and diastolic pressures. Systolic blood pressure represents the contraction and relaxation of the heart. Diastolic pressure is exerted in the blood vessels when the heart beats and is in the resting state. Ideal blood pressure should be between 90/60mmHg and 120/80mmHg. Hypertension is detected when systolic blood pressure is more than 140mmHg and diastolic pressure is higher than 90mmHg. Some of the symptoms of hypertension include headache, nose bleed, vomiting and chest pain.
Oedema: It is a condition caused by a build-up of fluid and swelling in the body parts, especially ankles, feet and legs.
