Chlorthalid Side Effect?
(Newest replies first)

Updated

after 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?

You must be sure to stay hydrated. I buy water with added minerals.

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 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.

I don't have any personal experience with this medication, but I did find a complete list of side effects associated with Chlorthalidone (that you can view below), whereas cramps are listed as a possible side effect:

muscle weakness
dizziness
cramps
thirst
stomach pain
upset stomach
vomiting
diarrhea
loss of appetite
headache
hair loss

This information and more can be viewed by clicking on the link below:

I would definitely consider contacting your doctor though about switching medications if the cramping becomes too bothersome.

I hope this helps!
