chlorthalidone

Chlorthalidone is a thiazide-like diuretic used to treat hypertension and edema caused by conditions such as heart failure, liver disease (cirrhosis), kidney disease, or steroid therapy. It works by increasing urine production, which helps reduce blood pressure and fluid buildup in the body. Chlorthalidone is often prescribed alone or in combination with other medications for managing high blood pressure and fluid retention.
