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]]. {{pharma-stub}} {{Antihypertensives and diuretics}} [[Category:Thiazides]] [[de:Chlortalidon]] [[hr:Klortalidon]] [[it:Clortalidone]] [[ja:クロルタリドン]] [[pl:Chlortalidon]]
