| ==Overview==
| |
| '''Chlortalidone''' (formerly spelled chlort<u>h</u>alidone in the UK, and still so called in the United States) is a drug used to treat hypertension. It is described as a [[thiazide diuretic]] (or, rather, a thiazide-like diuretic because it acts similarly to the thiazides but does not contain the [[benzothiadiazine]] molecular structure).
| |
| | |
| It is also available in the UK as a combination product with the [[beta blocker]] [[atenolol]] as [[Co-tenidone]].
