Product Description
Blokium Diu is a fixed‑dose antihypertensive preparation combining a cardioselective beta‑blocker (atenolol) and a thiazide‑like diuretic (chlorthalidone).
It reduces blood pressure by lowering cardiac output and promoting sodium and water excretion.
Indications for Use:
Treatment of arterial hypertension, angina pectoris, and certain cardiac arrhythmias.
Method of Administration and Dosage
Administered orally.
Dosage is determined by the physician depending on the patient’s blood pressure response.
Tablets should be swallowed whole with water.

severe bradycardia;
cardiogenic shock;
acute heart failure;
severe renal impairment;
electrolyte imbalance.
Precautions
Use with caution in patients with diabetes, gout, hepatic impairment, or bronchospastic disease.
Abrupt discontinuation should be avoided to prevent rebound hypertension or angina.
Concomitant use with other antihypertensives, digitalis glycosides, or potassium‑lowering agents may increase risk of adverse effects.
