Chlorthalid Side Effect?
Updatedafter starting this drug a frequency of nightly leg cramps started. I took an otc potasium pill but still had cramps. I stopped the pill and the cramps stopped. Has anyone else seen this happen?

I would definitely consider contacting your doctor though about switching medications if the cramping becomes too bothersome.
I hope this helps!
My husband starting taking Chlorthalid a week ago and he is too complaining of leg and foot cramps.
I stopped this and the cramps all quit within 36 hours. Told doctor and he changed me to a different drug. Believe me the cramps won't stop if you continue with the drug.
Take magnesium that will stop the cramps
I am sorry I did not state all completely. I took otc potassium and magnesium pills and they still persisted. I quit the prescription completely and have no more cramping problems. Thank you for your reply
I noticed a more tendacy to bruise while on this drug. Anyone else notice it?
You must be sure to stay hydrated. I buy water with added minerals.
