Chlorthalidone is a medication primarily used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension) and fluid retention (edema) caused by various conditions such as heart failure, liver disease, or kidney problems. Here’s a breakdown of the information you requested:
Product Introduction:
Chlorthalidone is a thiazide diuretic, which means it works by increasing urine production to help the body get rid of excess salt and water. It was first introduced for medical use in the United States in the late 1950s.
Uses:
- Hypertension: Chlorthalidone is commonly prescribed to lower blood pressure. By reducing the volume of fluid in the bloodstream, it helps to decrease blood pressure.

Benefits:
- Effective in lowering blood pressure and reducing edema.
- Often prescribed as a first-line treatment for hypertension.
