Drug Mode of Action ::  

Chlortalidone is an oral, long acting antihypertensive/diuretic. It is a monosulfamyl diuretic that acts by enhancing the excretion of sodium and chloride ions, and water by interfering with the transport of sodium ions across the renal tubular epithelium. Their primary site of action appears to be at the cortical diluting segment in the nephron of the loop of Henle.

Drug Interactions ::

NSAIDs antagonise hypotensive action. Suppresses action of oral anticoagulants due to reduced prothrombin activity. Increased risk of hypokalaemia when corticosteroids are given concurrently. Potentially Fatal: Potentiates bone marrow suppression caused by anticancer drugs. Diuretic-induced vol depletion can potentiate aminoglycoside nephrotoxicity. Impairs action of oral hypoglycaemic agents. Enhances digitalis toxicity due to hypokalaemia. vol depletion enhances lithium toxicity, conversely, sudden withdrawal of diuretics may result in subtherapeutic levels of circulating lithium. Prolonged paralysis with tubocurarine due to hypokalaemia.
