General Considerations

THALITONE cannot be substituted with other formulations of chlorthalidone.

Initiate therapy with the lowest possible dose, then titrate according to individual patient response.

Hypertension

The initial recommended dose is 15 mg once daily with food. After 2 weeks, the dosage may be increased to a single daily dose of 25 mg if additional blood pressure reduction is needed. Doses above 25 mg are not expected to result in increased blood pressure reduction.

Edema

The recommended initial dosage is 50 to 100 mg daily or 100 mg on alternate days. Depending on response, dosage can be decreased or increased up to a maximum of 200 mg daily.
