Chlortalidone is considered a first-line medication for treatment of high blood pressure. [2] Some recommend chlortalidone over hydrochlorothiazide. [1] [15] A meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials found that chlortalidone is more effective than hydrochlorothiazide for lowering blood pressure, while the two drugs have similar toxicity.

Atenolol/chlorthalidone, also known as co-tenidone, is a combination medication used to treat high blood pressure. [2] [3] It is made up of atenolol, a beta-blocker and chlortalidone, a diuretic. [4] It is not recommended as an initial treatment but may be used in those who are taking atenolol and chlortalidone individually. [5] It is taken by ...
The term "thiazide" is also often used for drugs with a similar action that do not have the thiazide chemical structure, such as chlorthalidone, metolazone and indapamide. These agents are more properly termed thiazide-like diuretics. [citation needed] Thiazide diuretics also increase calcium reabsorption at the distal tubule.
I don't know so I have written to both manufacturers requesting clarification of the terms and usages. I will update these articles when I have more information: Hygroton, Chlorthalidone, and Chlortalidone.

The thiazide-like diuretics (indapamide and chlorthalidone) reduce risk of major cardiovascular events and heart failure in hypertensive patients compared with hydrochlorothiazide with a comparable incidence of adverse events. [5] Both thiazide diuretics and thiazide-like diuretics are effective in reducing risk of stroke.
Participants were initially randomised to chlorthalidone versus doxazosin (alpha-adrenergic blocker), lisinopril (ACE-inhibitor), and amlodipine (calcium channel blocker). [ 2 ] [ 3 ] The doxazosin arm was discontinued early on in the trial because of a higher rate of combined cardiovascular events and admissions for heart failure compared with ...
