Usage

General Description

(-)-Hygroton, also known as chlorthalidone, is a medication classified as a thiazide diuretic. It works by causing the kidneys to eliminate excess salt and water from the body, thus reducing blood pressure and relieving symptoms of edema. The drug is often prescribed to treat high blood pressure and edema caused by conditions such as congestive heart failure, liver cirrhosis, and kidney disorders. Chlorthalidone is taken orally, usually once daily, and its effects may be seen within a few hours of administration. Common side effects of (-)-Hygroton include dizziness, headache, and increased urination, while more serious side effects can include electrolyte imbalances and allergic reactions. This medication should be used with caution in patients with kidney or liver impairment and may interact with certain other drugs, so it is important to consult a healthcare professional before taking (-)-Hygroton.
