Chlorthalidone: A Controversial Contender in Hypertension Management
Hypertension, a silent threat to cardiovascular health, requires effective management strategies. This review delves into the ongoing debate surrounding the use of chlorthalidone, a thiazide diuretic, in antihypertensive therapy. The review examines the evidence supporting the use of chlorthalidone, citing its demonstrated reduction in cardiovascular events and its longer half-life. However, the review also explores the potential drawbacks of chlorthalidone, including its limited availability in low-dose forms and the possibility of comparable results from hydrochlorothiazide-based therapy. The authors present a balanced perspective on the benefits and drawbacks of chlorthalidone, providing valuable insights for clinicians making treatment decisions.
