Chlort h alidone vs. Chlortalidone
There seems to be some question over Chlort h alidone vs. Chlortalidone. The gent who forwarded Chlort h alidone to Chlortalidone indicated that the former was the spelling used in the UK until it was changed to the latter. My research seems to indicate something different. According to the Novartis web site, Chlort h alidone is a Thiazide-based diuretic (that is NOT marketed in the UK according to Novartis #1) and Chlortalidone appears to be a Sulfonamide-based diuretic marketed by Sandoz. Perhaps the spelling was changed in the UK because of the product difference between Novartis and Sandoz. I don't know so I have written to both manufacturers requesting clarification of the terms and usages. I will update these articles when I have more information: Hygroton, Chlorthalidone, and Chlortalidone. JimScott 01:45, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
