WHAT HYGROTON 25 IS
USED FOR
This medicine contains chlortalidone.
It is used to treat high blood pressure
(also called hypertension) and fluid
build-up.
Everyone has blood pressure. This
pressure helps to move your blood
around your body. Your blood
pressure may be different at various
times of the day, and can be affected
by how busy you are.
You have high blood pressure
(hypertension) when your blood
pressure stays higher than is needed
even when you are calm and relaxed.
There may be no symptoms of high
blood pressure so you need to have it
checked regularly. If high blood
pressure is not treated, it can lead to
serious health problems. Hygroton 25
helps to lower your blood pressure.
Hygroton 25 is also used to treat
fluid build-up caused by heart or
liver problems.
This medicine belongs to a group of
medicines called diuretics
(commonly called fluid or water
tablets). These medicines help to
reduce the amount of salt and water
in the body by acting on the kidneys
to increase the flow of urine.
Hygroton 25 can be used alone or in
combination with other medicines to
treat your condition.
ASK YOUR DOCTOR IF YOU HAVE ANY
QUESTIONS ABOUT WHY THIS MEDICINE
HAS BEEN PRESCRIBED FOR YOU.
Your doctor may have prescribed it
for another reason.
This medicine is not addictive. It is
available only with a doctor's
prescription.

CLINICAL PARTICULARS
4.1 THERAPEUTIC INDICATIONS
•
Essential arterial hypertension, as long as creatinine clearance is >
30 mL/min; as
primary therapy or in combination with other antihypertensive agents.
•
Stable, chronic heart failure of mild to moderate degree (functional
class II, III), as
long as creatinine clearance is > 30 mL/min.
•
Ascites due to cirrhosis of the liver in stable patients under close
control.
4.2 DOSE AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION
As with all diuretics, therapy should be initiated with the lowest

should be titrated according to the individual patient's response to
gain maximum therapeutic
benefit while keeping side effects to a minimum.
A single dose daily or every other day given in the morning with food
is recommended.

HYPERTENSION
Adults
The range of clinically useful doses is 12.5 to 50 mg/day. Recommended
starting doses are
either 12.5 or 25 mg/day, the latter being sufficient to produce the
maximum hypotensive
effect in most patients. For a given dose, the full effect is reached
after 3 to 4 weeks. If the
decrease in blood pressure proves inadequate with 25 or 50 mg/day,
combined treatment
with other antihypertensive medicines (such as beta-blockers, ACE
inhibitors or angiotensin
II inhibitors) is recommended. When adding an ACE inhibitor or
angiotensin II inhibitors,
Hygroton 25 should be reduced or discontinued (see Section 4.4 Special
warnings and
precautions for use).
