Chlortalidone, also known as chlorthalidone, is a diuretic medication used to treat high blood pressure, swelling including that due to heart failure, liver failure, and nephrotic syndrome, diabetes insipidus, and renal tubular acidosis.[2][3] In high blood pressure it is a preferred initial treatment.[2] It is also used to prevent calcium-based kidney stones.[2] It is taken by mouth.[2] Effects generally begin within three hours and last for up to three days.[2]
Common side effects include low blood potassium, low blood sodium, high blood sugar, dizziness, and erectile dysfunction.[2][3][4] Other side effects may include gout, low blood magnesium, high blood calcium, allergic reactions, and low blood pressure.[2][3][6] Some reviews have found chlortalidone to have a higher risk of side effects than hydrochlorothiazide,[7][8] while other reviews have found a similar risk.[9][10] While it may be used in pregnancy it is a less preferred option.[2] It is specifically a thiazide-like diuretic.[7] How it works is not completely clear but is believed to involve increasing the amount of sodium and water lost by the kidneys.[2]
Chlortalidone was patented in 1957 and came into medical use in 1960.[11] It is available as a generic medication.[3] In the United States the wholesale cost is about US$13.50 a month.[12] In 2017, it was the 173rd most commonly prescribed medication in the United States, with more than three million prescriptions.[13][14]

A long-acting thiazide-like diuretic, specifically chlorthalidone, if available, is recommended over hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ) given its superior efficacy and clear benefit demonstrated in multiple outcome studies of hypertension.
