If you have visited your doctor lately complaining about high blood pressure, there is a good chance he or she will have prescribed the drug Tenoretic to you. Often touted by the medical profession as a good treatment for lowering blood pressure, or hypertension, it would appear to have a good success rate. But no doubt you have many questions at the back of your mind – is it right for me, how do I take it, what about side effects, and so on. Let us examine some of these issues to enable you to make an informed decision about this treatment.
Is Tenoretic the right choice for me?
Firstly, a very brief description of how this drug works. It is in fact part diuretic (water pill) and part beta blocker. As with all such combination drugs, if you are pregnant then the risk of danger to your unborn child is too great to consider taking Tenoretic. If you are breastfeeding your recent new arrival there is a threat of contaminating your milk. Therefore, either stop breastfeeding your baby, or do not take this treatment. The same holds true if you suffer from any of the following
• Allergy to beta blockers
• Cardiogenic shock
• Severe difficulty with urinating
• Heart failure or heart block
The above list is not comprehensive, if in doubt you should consult with your doctor.
How do I take Tenoretic?
The advice here is the same as would be given to any kind of medication – always read the prescription and follow your physician’s instructions. You do not need to wait until after a meal to take it; Tenoretic can either be taken on a full or an empty stomach. Because this is a pretty effective treatment you may even start to feel a lot better after just a few days. However, don’t be tempted to stop taking the drug; continue the course for the length of time given in your prescription.
What Side Effects should I know about?
The potential of side effects exists in all drugs. The number of patients who actually experience side effects is very small compared to those who don’t. However, it is a good idea to be aware of what they might be; in this way you will be able to recognize the symptoms and take appropriate action. The following is a list of potential minor side effects, should any of these occur, then unless they persist, continue to take Tenoretic:
• Insomnia
• Lower sex drive
• Mild drowsiness
• Dizziness
More serious are the symptoms on the list below, if you are showing any of these then speak with your doctor immediately:
• Swelling around the feet or ankles
• Cold hands or feet
• Depression
• Slow heartbeat
• Breathing problems
However it has to be stressed, it is extremely unlikely you will experience any of these, although it is good practice to inform yourself about potential problems before starting a course of treatment.
Summary
So, in conclusion I am sure it won’t have escaped your attention that Tenoretic continues to be held in high regard as an effective way of reducing high blood pressure. It has a high success ratio, can be taken with or without food which means it is not particularly intrusive on those leading active lives. As with all prescription drugs, follow your doctor’s instructions and use your own common sense. All in all though, observing sensible precautions you ought to find Tenoretic a sufficiently effective way of reducing your blood pressure.
