    Pharmacotherapeutic group:Antihypertensive drug combined (beta 1-blocker selective + diuretic)
    ATX: & nbsp

    C.07.C.B   Selective beta-1 blockers in combination with other diuretics

    Pharmacodynamics:

    Combined antihypertensive drug. Has antihypertensive effect. The effect is due to the action of two components - the beta-blocker (atenolol) and a diuretic (chlorthalidone).

    Atenolol is a cardioselective hydrophilic beta1-adrenoblocker.

    Has no internal sympathomimetic and membrane-stabilizing activity.

    Basic pharmacological actions: anti-adrenergic, antianginal, antiarrhythmic, antihypertensive, cardioprotective.

    Atenolol reduces the heart rate (heart rate) (negative chronotropic action); slows atrioventricular conduction (negative dromotropic action); reduces the excitability of the myocardium (negative batmotropnoe action); reduces myocardial contractility (negative inotropic effect); reduces the activity of renin; lowers blood pressure (BP) due to the listed mechanisms. Due to the inhibition of beta2-adrenergic receptors atenolol can increase the tone of smooth muscles.

    Chlorthalidone - Thiazide-like diuretic - suppresses active reabsorption of sodium in renal tubules (the initial part of the distalconvoluted tubule of the nephron), increasing the excretion of sodium and chlorine and strengthening diuresis; Besides, chlorthalidone increases the excretion of potassium, magnesium and bicarbonate, delays calcium ions and uric acid; diuretic effect develops 2-3 hours after ingestion and persists for 2-3 days.

    The use of chlorthalidone in high doses is accompanied by increased excretion of bicarbonates, which is due to inhibition of carbonic anhydrase, which leads to urine alkalinization. With prolonged treatment with chlorthalidone, excretion of calcium by the kidneys decreases, which leads to hypercalcemia. Mechanisms of antihypertensive action of chlorthalidone include a violation of the sodium balance, a decrease in the volume of extracellular fluid and plasma, a violation of the resistance of the renal vessels and a decrease in sensitivity to norepinephrine (noradrenaline) and angiotensin II.

    In patients with severe renal failure (creatinine clearance (CK) less than 30 ml / min) chlorthalidone Ineffective.

    The combination of atenolol and chlorthalidone is compatible and, as a rule, more effective than the use of each of these drugs alone.

    The main therapeutic effect: diuretic and antihypertensive.

    Pharmacokinetics:

    Atenolol

    After oral administration, about 50% absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract (GIT), the maximum concentration in the blood plasma is reached after 2-4 hours after ingestion.

    Bioavailability is 50%. Link with blood plasma proteins - about 3%.

    Metabolized very slightly. About 90% of systemically available atenolol is excreted by the kidneys unchanged for 48 hours. The half-life period (T1/2) - 6-10 hours with normal kidney function. In chronic renal failure T1/2 can reach 140 hours. The relative volume of distribution is 0.7 l / kg.

    Chlorthalidone

    Relatively slowly absorbed GASTROINTESTINAL TRACT (time of achievement of half of the maximum concentration in a blood plasma about 2,5 ч). Systemic bioavailability is about 64 ± 10% after oral administration. The connection with plasma proteins is 75%, and 58% with albumin. Chlorthalidone mainly is displayed kidneys, mostly unchanged. T1/2 is about 50 hours. The volume of distribution is 4 l / kg.

    Indications:

    Arterial hypertension (with ineffectiveness of monotherapy atenolol and chlorthalidone).

    Pregnancy and lactation:

    Application of the drug Atenolol compositum Sandoz® during pregnancy is contraindicated. Atenolol and chlorthalidone penetrate the hematoplacental barrier. Data on the use of atenolol and chlorthalidone in pregnant women are limited. When using the drug in early pregnancy, an increased risk of congenital anomalies was identified. It was also found that in women who received atenolol during pregnancy, children were born with a significantly lower body weight,compared with women who did not receive any treatment or received other beta-blockers, respectively. However, this indicator was also affected by the severity of the mother's condition. In addition, the fetus and newborn can have a decrease in heart rate. Chlorthalidone can cause jaundice fetus and newborn, thrombocytopenia and also other unwanted reactions noted in adults.

    Atenolol and chlorthalidone are excreted in breast milk, so the drug is contraindicated during breastfeeding. If you need to use the drug during lactation, breastfeeding should be discontinued.

    Dosing and Administration:

    A drug Atenolol compositum Sandoz® should be taken orally, before breakfast, without chewing and drinking with a sufficient amount of liquid. Assign a 1 tablet containing 50 mg of atenolol and 12.5 mg of chlorthalidone, once a day. If necessary and depending on the patient's condition, the dose may be increased to 100 mg atenolol / 25 mg chlorthalidone.

    Elderly patients: for this age group often requires a lower dose, which is prescribed by the doctor.

    Patients with impaired renal function: dose of the drug should be reduced (titration dose of atenolol). With QC 15-35 ml / min, the maximum daily dose of atenolol should not exceed 50 mg, with QC less than 15 ml / min atenolol should be applied to 50 mg every other day.

    Patients with impaired hepatic function: correction of the dose is not required.

    The cancellation after prolonged treatment should be carried out gradually.

    Side effects:

    According to the World Health Organization (WHO), undesirable effects are classified according to their frequency of development as follows: very often (1/10), often (≥ 1/100, <1/10), infrequently (≥ 1/1000, <1/100), rarely (≥ 1/10000, <1/1000) and very rarely (<1/10000); frequency is unknown (the frequency of occurrence of phenomena can not be determined on the basis of available data).

    Overdose:

    Symptoms: bradycardia, marked decrease in blood pressure, acute heart failure, bronchospasm.

    Treatment:

    Careful observation, treatment in the intensive care unit, gastric lavage, the use of activated carbon and laxatives in order to prevent the absorption of the drug still present in the gastrointestinal tract,the use of plasma or plasma substitutes to treat a pronounced reduction in blood pressure and hypovolemic shock. It is possible to use hemodialysis or hemoperfusion.

    With the development of severe bradycardia, 1-2 mg of atropine should be administered intravenously and / or a pacemaker should be installed. If necessary, intravenous administration of glucagon in a bolus dose of 10 mg is possible. If necessary, repeat the procedure for the introduction of a bolus dose of glucagon, or conduct an intravenous infusion of glucagon at a rate of 1-10 mg / h, depending on the patient's response.

    Bronchospasm is usually stopped with the help of bronchodilators.

    With a significant diuresis - the introduction of fluid and electrolytes.
    Interaction:

    Interactions caused by the use of beta-adrenoblocker (atenolol), which is part of the drug Atenolol composit Sandoz®

    The blockers of "slow" calcium channels (BCCI, for example, verapamil, diltiazem): an increase in the negative inotropic effect, especially in patients with reduced myocardial contractility and / or with violations of sinoatrial or atrioventricular conduction.This can lead to the development of severe arterial hypotension, bradycardia or heart failure. The blockers of "slow" calcium channels should not be used intravenously within 48 hours after the abolition of beta-blockers.

    Antiarrhythmics of Class I (disopyramide) and amiodarone: it is possible to increase the time for atria to increase the negative inotropic effect; cardiodepressive effect can be summarized.

    Norepinephrine (norepinephrine), epinephrine: possibly significant increased blood pressure.

    Cardiac glycosides, reserpine, alpha-methyldopa, guanfacine or clonidine: because of the possible appearance of a deficiency of potassium and / or magnesium in connection with the use of beta-blockers, the sensitivity of the cardiac muscle to cardiac glycosides, and, accordingly, the frequency of their side effects increases.

    Abrupt withdrawal of clonidine may lead to an increase in blood pressure, so the withdrawal of clonidine should be gradually and only a few days after the abolition of beta-blockers.

    Tricyclic antidepressants, barbiturates, phenothiazines, diuretics, vasodilators and other antihypertensives,ethanol: may increase the antihypertensive effect.

    Angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors (ACE) (captopril, enalapril): at the beginning of therapy, a sharp increase in the antihypertensive effect of the drug is possible.

    Salicylates and other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs, for example, indomethacin, ibuprofen): possibly reducing antihypertensive action of beta-adrenoblockers, and with a high dose of salicylates, an increase in the toxic effect of salicylates on the central nervous system. With the simultaneous use of the drug with NSAIDs, it is possible to weaken the diuretic and hypotensive effect of the drug.

    Interactions caused by the use of chlorthalidone, which is part of the drug Atenolol composit Sandoz®

    Lithium: reduction of lithium excretion and enhancement of the cardio- and neurotoxic effect of lithium.

    Muscle relaxants curare-like (tubocurarine): it is possible to strengthen or weaken the neuromuscular blockade. An anesthesiologist should be advised of the taking of the drug Atenolol composit Sandoz®.

    Glucocorticosteroids, carbenoxolone, amphotericin B, furosemide: potassium ions can be enhanced.

    Simultaneous application with allopurinol may increase the incidence of hypersensitivity reactions chlorthalidone.

    Chlortalidone may increase the risk of adverse reactions caused by amantadine.

    Anticholinergic drugs (eg, atropine, biperidene) can increase the bioavailability of chlorthalidone, reducing gastrointestinal motility and evacuation of stomach contents.

    Pharmacological effects calcium salts and vitamin D may increase to a clinically significant level with simultaneous application with chlorthalidone.

    Simultaneous application with cyclosporin increases the risk of hyperuricemia and complications such as gout.

    Kolestyramine disrupts the absorption of chlorthalidone (possibly reducing the pharmacological effect of chlorthalidone).

    The simultaneous use of chlorthalidone with methotrexate and cyclophosphamide can lead to potentiation of the effect of the pharmacological effect antitumor drugs.

    Interactions caused by a combination of chlorthalidone and atenolol included in the drug Atenolol composit Sandoz®.

    Insulin and hypoglycemic agents for oral administration: the effect of the latter can be strengthened. It is necessary to regularly monitor the concentration of glucose in the blood, because signs of hypoglycemia (tremor, tachycardia) can be masked or weakened by admission Atenolol composit Sandoz®.

    Means for general anesthesia: increased antihypertensive effect and summation of the negative inotropic effect of both agents.

    The slow calcium channel blockers (BCCC), dihydropyridine derivatives (for example, nifedipine): possibly an increased risk of arterial hypotension, in patients with heart failure in latent form, there may be signs of circulatory disorders.

    Baclofen: possibly increased antihypertensive effect.

    Special instructions due to the use of beta-adrenoblocker (atenolol), which is part of the drug Atenolol composit Sandoz®

    Although the drug Atenolol composit Sandoz® contraindicated in heart failure in the stage of decompensation (see the section "Contraindications"), it can be used in those patients in whom signs of heart failure are under control, and caution should be exercised in patients with a reduced ejection fraction.

    Against the background of the drug Atenolol composit Sandoz® there may be a decrease in heart rate, which is associated with the pharmacological action of beta-blockers. In rare cases, the decrease in heart rate can be clinically pronounced, which requires a dose reduction.

    Although the use of beta-blockers is contraindicated only in severe peripheral blood supply disorders (see Section "Contraindications"), the use of atenolol in combination with chlorthalidone may exacerbate the situation even with less severe peripheral blood supply disorders. In connection with the fact that beta-adrenoblockers adversely affect cardiac conduction, the treatment of patients with atrioventricular blockade of the heart of the I degree requires special precautions.

    Application of the drug Atenolol composit Sandoz® in patients with pheochromocytoma should be carried out only after blockade of alpha receptors, and it is necessary to regularly monitor blood pressure.

    Atenolol compositum Sandoz® can mask tachycardia caused by hypoglycemia, as well as symptoms of thyrotoxicosis.

    Do not abruptly stop taking the drug Atenolol composit Sandoz® patients with ischemic heart disease, as a sharp cancellation of the drug may increase the frequency and severity of angina attacks.

    With caution apply the drug Atenolol composit Sandoz® patients with bronchoobstructive syndrome. In case of worsening of bronchial conductivity, discontinue treatment with the drug and prescribe therapy with bronchodilators (for example, salbutamol).

    Atenolol, which is part of the drug Atenolol composit Sandoz®, can increase sensitivity to allergens and cause anaphylactic reactions, and therefore patients on desensitizing therapy should take the drug with great care.

    Patients with psoriasis in a family history of taking the drug Atenolol composit Sandoz® It is possible only with careful weighing of the ratio of risk and benefit.

    Application Atenolol composit Sandoz® in patients undergoing surgery with general anesthesia, may lead to the development of arterial hypotension. The use of funds for general anesthesia, which reduces the contractile ability of the myocardium, should be avoided whenever possible.

    Special instructions due to the use of chlorthalidone, which is part of the drug Atenolol composit Sandoz®

    Against the background of taking the drug Atenolol composit Sandoz® hypokalemia and hyponatremia may develop. A systematic control of the potassium and sodium levels in the blood, especially in elderly patients, in patients taking cardiac glycosides, in patients with gastrointestinal disorders, as well as patients with an unbalanced diet (low-potassium intake) is required. In patients taking cardiac glycosides, hypokalemia can lead to serious heart rhythm disturbances.

    Against the background of taking the drug Atenolol compositum Sandoz® hyperuricemia may occur.

    Chlortalidone, which is part of the drug Atenolol composit Sandoz®, can reduce glucose tolerance, so patients with diabetes should regularly monitor the concentration of glucose in the blood and urine.
