Chlorthalidone
Generic alternative to Hygroton
Chlorthalidone is a medication used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension) and fluid retention (edema) caused by conditions such as heart failure or renal dysfunction. It belongs to a class of drugs known as thiazide diuretics (or 'water pills'), which help the body get rid of excess salt and water by increasing the amount of urine produced.
How is this medication used?
Chlorthalidone is usually taken once daily in the morning with or without food as directed by your healthcare provider. The dosage is based on your medical condition and response to treatment. It's important to continue taking this medication even if you feel well, and to follow your healthcare provider's directions closely.
What are the possible side effects?
Common side effects of chlorthalidone include dizziness, lightheadedness, and dehydration. More serious side effects can include electrolyte imbalances, such as low potassium or sodium levels, and an increase in uric acid levels, which may affect gout. It's important to contact your healthcare provider if you experience any severe or persistent side effects.
What are the potential interactions?
Chlorthalidone can interact with a variety of medications and substances, including lithium, digoxin, corticosteroids, and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) such as ibuprofen. Alcohol and medications that can cause dizziness should be used cautiously to avoid exacerbating this side effect. Always inform your healthcare provider of all medications and supplements you are taking to avoid potential interactions.
