Chống chỉ định
Hypersensitivity to chlortalidone and other sulfonamide derivatives. Anuria, symptomatic hyperuricaemia (i.e. history of gout or uric acid calculi); refractory hypokalaemia, hyponatraemia, and hypercalcaemia; adrenal insufficiency (e.g. Addison’s disease), HTN during pregnancy.

Chỉ số theo dõi
Monitor BP, serum electrolytes, renal function, wt, and intake/output records (daily to determine fluid loss).
Quá liều
Symptoms: Dizziness, nausea, somnolence, hypovolaemia, hypotension, electrolyte disturbance, cardiac arrhythmia, muscle spasm. Management: Employ gastric lavage or activated charcoal, or induce emesis. Monitor BP, fluid, and electrolytes w/ appropriate corrective measures taken. Admin of IV fluid, electrolyte replacement, and artificial plasma supplementation may be beneficial.
Tương tác
Increased hypokalaemic effect w/ corticosteroids, amphotericin, carbenoxolone, ACTH, and β2-agonists. Reduced diuretic and antihypertensive effects w/ NSAIDs (e.g. indometacin). May increase the effects of antihypertensive agents and curare derivatives. May reduce therapeutic effects of insulin, oral antidiabetic agents, and oral anticoagulants. May induce cardiac arrhythmia w/ digitalis. May increase risk of hyperuricaemia and gout-type complications w/ ciclosporin. Potentially Fatal: May cause rapid increase in serum lithium levels, leading to toxicity.

Tác dụng
Description: Mechanism of Action: Chlortalidone, a phthalimidine derivative of benzenesulfonamide, has actions similar to thiazide diuretics even though it does not contain a thiazide ring system. It inhibits Na and Cl reabsorption in the cortical-diluting segment of the ascending loop of Henle, thereby leading to increased secretion and excretion of K and hydrogen ions. Additionally, it promotes Ca reabsorption. Onset: Approx 2.6 hr. Duration: 48-72 hr. Pharmacokinetics: Absorption: Erratically absorbed from the GI tract. Bioavailability: Approx 64%. Time to peak plasma concentration: 8-12 hr. Distribution: Extensively distributed in erythrocytes. Crosses the placenta and enters breast milk. Plasma protein binding: Approx 75%, 58% to albumin. Metabolism: Metabolised in the liver. Excretion: Via urine (approx 70%, mainly as unchanged drug). Elimination half-life: 40-60 hr.
