Key points
- Blood-pressure benefit develops with regular treatment; extra tablets are not a safe response to a high reading.
- Low sodium or potassium can cause weakness, confusion, cramps or abnormal heart rhythm.
- Vomiting, diarrhoea, poor fluid intake or hot weather can increase dehydration and kidney risk.
Listings are for comparison only; suitability and supply depend on clinician and pharmacy checks, prescription requirements and laboratory monitoring.
How it works
Chlorthalidone increases sodium and water excretion by the kidneys and has a prolonged blood-pressure effect.
Important safety checks
Review kidney or liver disease, gout, diabetes, low sodium or potassium, pregnancy and interacting medicines such as lithium, NSAIDs, digoxin or other blood-pressure treatments. Blood pressure, kidney function and electrolytes may need monitoring.
When to seek urgent care
Seek urgent help for fainting, severe confusion, a seizure, marked weakness, a new irregular heartbeat, very little urine, severe eye pain or facial swelling and breathing difficulty.
