Hygroton (active ingredient: chlorthalidone) is a prescription medication indicated for:

  • Hypertension: Hygroton is used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension) in adults.

Hygroton belongs to a class of drugs known as thiazide diuretics, which work by increasing the excretion of sodium and water from the body through the kidneys, leading to decreased blood volume and lowered blood pressure.

Chlorthalidone tablets should be taken orally, usually once a day, with or without food, as directed by your doctor. To get the most benefit from the medication, use it regularly and try to take it at the same time each day. Take chlorthalidone tablet in the morning with a meal. It starts working in about two hours, so do not take it at night; otherwise, you will go to the bathroom more overnight. Avoid taking the tablet within 4 hours of bedtime to avoid having to get up to urinate.

If you have any questions about your dosing schedule or how to use the medication properly, consult your doctor or pharmacist. Avoid taking certain drugs to lower your cholesterol, such as bile acid-binding resins like cholestyramine or colestipol, within 2 hours before or 4 hours after taking Hygroton. Remember to keep taking the medication even if you feel well, as most people with high blood pressure do not feel sick.
