Tenoretic is used for:
Treating high blood pressure.
Tenoretic is a beta-blocker and diuretic combination. It works by interfering with certain body chemicals that cause the heart to beat with less force and pump out less blood. This allows the heart to beat more slowly and regularly. By blocking these chemicals, blood vessels are relaxed and widened, allowing blood pressure to decrease. The diuretic works by causing the kidney to eliminate larger-than-normal amounts of water.
Do NOT use Tenoretic if:
- you are allergic to any ingredient in Tenoretic or to any other sulfonamide, such as acetazolamide, celecoxib, hydrochlorothiazide, glyburide, probenecid, sulfamethoxazole, or zonisamide
- you have congestive heart failure that has not been treated, a very slow heartbeat, heart block, or inability to urinate
- you are currently taking mibefradil
Contact your doctor or health care provider right away if any of these apply to you.
How to use Tenoretic :
Use Tenoretic as directed by your doctor. Check the label on the medicine for exact dosing instructions.
- Take Tenoretic by mouth with or without food.
- Taking Tenoretic at the same time each day will help you remember to take it.
- Continue to use Tenoretic even if you feel well. Do not miss any doses.
- Tenoretic may increase the amount of urine or cause you to urinate more often when you first start taking it. To keep this from disturbing your sleep, try to take your dose before 6 pm.
- If you miss a dose of Tenoretic , take it as soon as possible. If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and go back to your regular dosing schedule. Do not take 2 doses at once.
Ask your health care provider any questions you may have about how to use Tenoretic .
