Compare Tenoretic vs. Dutoprol

Head-to-head comparisons of medication uses, side effects, warnings, and more.

Key takeaways

Tenoretic (atenolol/chlorthalidone) and Dutoprol (metoprolol succinate/hydrochlorothiazide) are both combination medications used to treat high blood pressure. They both include a beta blocker and a diuretic, which help lower blood pressure by slowing the heart rate and removing extra water from the body. However, there are several differences between them. Tenoretic is taken once daily and combines atenolol, a beta blocker, with chlorthalidone, a thiazide-like diuretic. It's available as a generic medication. Dutoprol is a combination of metoprolol succinate, a different beta blocker, with hydrochlorothiazide. It's no longer available in the United States, but each of the medications in it are still available individually.
