Chlorthalid And Kidney Stones
UpdatedI had calcium kidney stones. My doctor prescribed Chorthalid tab 25mg. to prevent me from forming more stones. I have seen no reference to taking it for this purpose. I also have low BP. Is it advisable for me to take it?

Hello, Helen! How are you? I'm sorry about the kidney stones, they are very painful.
And yes, according to the NIH, Chlorthalidone is used to help prevent calcium stones.
As listed by the FDA, its typical side effects may possibly include nausea, dizziness, headache, increased urination and dehydration/
How low is your normal blood pressure?

I know this is an older post but was wondering if this is why my urologist has me only taking half a tablet at a time.
I hate kidney stones.
