Benefits

Chlorthalidone is used to manage high blood pressure (hypertension) and fluid retention (edema) due to heart, liver, kidney, or lung diseases.

How It Works

Side Effects

Expert's Advice

  • Avoid driving or operating machinery until you know how Chlorthalidone affects you, as it may cause dizziness.
  • Avoid alcohol, which can increase dizziness and the risk of low blood pressure.
  • A low-sodium diet should be discussed with your doctor, as Chlorthalidone may lower blood sodium levels.
  • Monitor your blood pressure regularly and report if it does not improve.
  • Inform your doctor if you experience persistent dizziness, fatigue, or muscle weakness.
  • If pregnant, planning pregnancy, or breastfeeding, consult your doctor before taking Chlorthalidone.
