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

    Pharmacodynamics:

    Combined long-acting drug. It consists of active substances supplementing each other's action.

    Atenolol

    Selective beta1-blocker, which does not have internal sympathomimetic activity. Reduces the heart rate, reduces the shock and minute blood volume within 24 hours.

    Chlorthalidone

    A neyiasidny diuretic of moderate action, stimulates the excretion of sodium, chlorine, potassium, magnesium and water ions, delays calcium ions in the body. By reducing the sodium content in the vascular wall, it decreases sensitivity to vasoconstrictive effects. Duration of action: from 24 to 48 hours.

    Pharmacokinetics:

    After oral intake absorbed in the gastrointestinal tract in 50%.

    The half-life of atenolol is 6-9 hours. The maximum concentration is achieved in 2-4 hours. Atenolol binds to plasma proteins up to 16%, chlorthalidone - up to 90%, including with erythrocytes. Metabolised in the liver, atenolol is eliminated by the kidneys, chlorthalidone is excreted through the intestine and with urine.

    Indications:

    It is used for the treatment of hypertensive disease, with secondary hypertensive states.

    IX.I10-I15.I10   Essential [primary] hypertension
