Scientific Evidence

Pharmacological Effects: Chlorthalidone, the active ingredient in Dichlor-25, is a thiazide diuretic that works by increasing the excretion of sodium and water by the kidneys. This leads to decreased blood volume and reduced vascular resistance, resulting in lowered blood pressure.

Clinical Trials: Several clinical trials have demonstrated the efficacy of chlorthalidone in reducing blood pressure and managing edema. A study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) showed that chlorthalidone was more effective in reducing cardiovascular events compared to other antihypertensive medications.

Additional Information

Warnings: It is important to monitor electrolyte levels regularly while taking Dichlor-25, as thiazide diuretics can cause electrolyte imbalances. Inform your healthcare provider of any signs of dehydration or electrolyte disturbances.

Storage: Store Dichlor-25 at room temperature away from moisture and heat. Keep out of reach of children.
