Hygroton (Chlorthalidone) Information

Hygroton, which contains the active ingredient chlorthalidone, is a potent diuretic medication classified as a thiazide-like diuretic. It is primarily indicated for the treatment of hypertension (high blood pressure), either alone or in combination with other antihypertensive agents. It is also indicated for the management of edema (swelling or fluid retention) associated with conditions such as congestive heart failure (CHF), hepatic cirrhosis, and renal dysfunction. Chlorthalidone is often preferred over hydrochlorothiazide in hypertension guidelines due to its significantly longer half-life (40–60 hours) and demonstrated superiority in reducing cardiovascular events in clinical trials. It is an orally administered medication, typically taken once daily. The mechanism of action of chlorthalidone occurs in the distal convoluted tubules of the kidney, as with thiazide diuretics. Chlorthalidone works by inhibiting the Sodium-Chloride (Na/CL) co-transporter system on the luminal membrane. By blocking the reabsorption of sodium and chloride ions from the tubular fluid back into the bloodstream, chlorthalidone significantly increases the amount of salt and water excreted in the urine, leading to a strong diuretic effect and a resulting reduction in plasma and extracellular fluid volume. Over time, this chronic volume reduction, combined with a vasodilatory effect mediated by mechanisms still under study, contributes to its profound and sustained antihypertensive efficacy. The extended duration of action is a key feature that provides consistent 24-hour blood pressure control.
