Dosages Of Chlorthalid

I JUST STARTED THE DRUG CHLORTHALID 25 MG. TODAY.
I HAVE NOT NOTICED ANY INCREASE IN MY URINE OUTPUT. IS IT BECAUSE OF THE LOW DOSAGE? WOULD AN INCREASE IN THE DOSAGE HELP?

No, you shouldn't arbitrarily increase the dosage of any medication on your own, it isn't safe to do so.

And though this is a diuretic and will have a small immediate effect, like any medication, it will take awhile to reach its full effect in your body, so one day isn't really enough to judge its efficacy on.

If it's working for you, you'll know in a few days and, if not, then please let the prescribing doctor know.


What are you taking it to treat?

WELL, FIRST OF ALL, I SAID IT WAS 25 MG, AND I ONLY TAKE 1/2 OF A PILL, SO I'M TAKING 12 1/2 MG. ONCE A DAY.
SECONDLY, I NEVER INCREASE THE DOSAGE OF ANY MEDICATION I AM PRESRIBED UNLESS THE DOCTOR OK'S IT.
I AM TAKING IT BECAUSE I AM IN 3 RD. STAGE KIDNEY FAILURE. I REALLY JUST WANTED TO KNOW IF ANYONE ELSE IN THIS FORUM IS TAKING THE SAME MED, AND WHAT THEIR EXPERIENCE WITH IT WAS. THIS IS THE SECOND DAY, AND STILL I HAVE NO RELIEF FROM SWELLING OR VOIDING. I CERTAINLY WILL CONTACT THE DOCTOR NEXT WEEK, IF THINGS DON'T CHANGE. THANK YOU FOR WRITING AND I APPRECIATE YOUR INPUT.
