Clortha Tablet 25 mg contains Chlorthalidone, a thiazide-like diuretic used for managing hypertension (high blood pressure) and edema associated with heart, liver, or kidney disorders. By increasing the excretion of sodium and water through the kidneys, Clortha helps lower blood pressure, reduce swelling, and support overall cardiovascular and renal health. This higher-strength formulation is suitable for patients who require stronger diuretic action under medical supervision.

Indications

Clortha Tablet 25 mg is indicated for:

• Hypertension (high blood pressure) control
• Edema related to congestive heart failure, liver cirrhosis, or kidney disorders
• Prevention of fluid retention in patients prone to swelling
• Combination therapy with other antihypertensive medications for enhanced blood pressure management

Mechanism of Action

Chlorthalidone works by inhibiting sodium and chloride reabsorption in the distal convoluted tubules of the kidneys. This leads to increased excretion of sodium, chloride, and water, reducing blood volume and lowering blood pressure. It also helps decrease fluid accumulation in tissues, alleviating edema.

• For edema, the dose is individualized according to severity and physician’s guidance

• Swallow the tablet whole with water
• Regular monitoring of blood pressure and electrolytes is recommended
