Pharmacologically, atenolol works by blocking the action of certain natural chemicals in the body, such as epinephrine, on the heart and blood vessels. Chlortalidone is a diuretic that helps the body get rid of excess salt and water. The combination of these two medications helps to lower blood pressure effectively.
