Chlortalidone, also known as chlorthalidone, is a thiazide-like diuretic drug [1] used to treat high blood pressure, swelling ... Due to its long half-life ...
Absorption half-life 1 h, elimination half-life 12 h. Biological half-life (elimination half-life, pharmacological half-life) is the time taken for concentration of a biological substance (such as a medication) to decrease from its maximum concentration (C max) to half of C max in the blood plasma.
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.

Hydrochlorothiazide, sold under the brand name Hydrodiuril among others, is a diuretic medication used to treat hypertension and swelling due to fluid build-up. [4] Other uses include treating diabetes insipidus and renal tubular acidosis and to decrease the risk of kidney stones in those with a high calcium level in the urine. [4]
This is a list of radioactive nuclides (sometimes also called isotopes), ordered by half-life from shortest to longest, in seconds, minutes, hours, days and years. Current methods make it difficult to measure half-lives between approximately 10 −19 and 10 −10 seconds. [1]
The hurricane center warned in a 1 a.m. CDT update that Helene will bring catastrophic winds and storm surge to the northeastern Gulf Coast and that "preparations to protect life and property ...
We need to add a pharmacokinetics section, as the longer half-life of chlortalidone is highly relevant to its superior efficacy compared to HCTZ. I will put together a draft over the next few days. Sbelknap 19:13, 31 October 2018 (UTC)
