It is also used to reduce extra salt and water in the body caused by conditions such as heart failure, liver disease, and kidney disease. Decreasing extra salt and water in the body helps to decrease swelling (edema) and breathing problems caused by fluid in the lungs. Chlorthalidone is a "water pill" (diuretic). It increases the amount of urine you make, especially when you first start the medication.

| Add Chlorthalidone review I have lost wieght.. Im not sure if its from the med,but my throat stays flemmy. I have taken Chlorthalidone for many years with little side effects. Have to take potassium sometimes,as it lowers that in the body, but otherwise no problems. It is the only medication we have found that works for me without causing asthma problems. Each time I get a new physician, I have to beg them to use this instead of beta blockers. They really don't want to give it. | Add Indapamide review With having a sulfa allergy, i wasn't initially even started on any diuretics.
