About Hygroton (chlorthalidone)
Hygroton is considered a thiazide diuretic, which prevents the body from absorbing too much salt. It also helps relax the blood vessels to improve blood flow.
Hygroton is used to treat high blood pressure and fluid retention (edema). Hygroton is available only by prescription. It is available in a generic formulation known as chlorthalidone, as well as under different brand names.
Hygroton may be prescribed as a tablet. It’s always important to follow the specific instructions on your prescription, as they can vary based on the formulation and dosage prescribed.
If you're prescribed Hygroton, be sure to complete the full course of the diuretic unless your health care professional specifically tells you to stop. If you don’t complete your prescription, the diuretic may not fully treat your fluid retention or high blood pressure.
