1 WHAT ATECOR-CT IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Atecor-CT is used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension). It
contains two different medicines
called atenolol and chlortalidone.
• Atenolol belongs to a group of medicines called
‘beta-blockers’. It works by slowing down your
heartbeat and making it beat with less force.
• Chlortalidone belongs to a group of medicines called water tablets
(diuretics). It works by
increasing the amount of urine made by your kidneys.
These medicines work together to lower your blood pressure.

SUMMARY OF PRODUCT CHARACTERISTICS
1 NAME OF THE MEDICINAL PRODUCT
Atecor CT 50 mg/12.5 mg Film-coated tablets
2 QUALITATIVE AND QUANTITATIVE COMPOSITION

chlortalidone.

For the full list of excipients, see section 6.1.
3 PHARMACEUTICAL FORM

White, round, biconvex, film-coated tablet with a score-notch on one

The tablet can be divided into equal doses.
4 CLINICAL PARTICULARS
4.1 THERAPEUTIC INDICATIONS
Atecor-CT tablets are indicated for the treatment of hypertension. The
combination product may be suitable for use when
satisfactory control of arterial blood pressure cannot be obtained
with either a diuretic or a beta-blocking agent used alone.
4.2 POSOLOGY AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION
When clinically appropriate direct change from monotherapy to the
fixed combination may be considered in patients whose
blood pressure is not adequately controlled.
POSOLOGY:
ADULTS
The usual maintenance dose of Atecor-CT 50 mg/12.5 mg is one tablet
daily. There is little or no further fall in blood pressure
with increased dosage, and where necessary, another antihypertensive
drug, such as a vasodilator, can be added.
Patients can be transferred directly to Atecor-CT 50 mg/12.5 mg
tablets from other antihypertensive treatments, with the
exception of clonidine (see section 4.4).
OLDER PEOPLE
Dosage requirements are often lower in this age group.
PAEDIATRIC POPULATION
Children and Adolescents (<18 years)
There is no paediatric experience with Atecor-CT tablets; therefore,
this preparation is not recommended for children.
RENAL IMPAIRMENT
Due to the properties of the chlortalidone component, Atecor-CT
tablets has reduced efficacy in the presence of renal
insufficiency.
This fixed dose combination should thus not be administrated to
patients with severe renal impairment (see section 4.3).
