What Causes Excessive Urination After Taking Chlortalidone?
I took the first dose of chlorthalidone 25mg this morning. both the dr and pharmacist told me I would be urinating a lot more but since 10am I only went one time. I am just wondering if that is abnormal or if it takes a few days to get into my system

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Chlorthalidone is a diuretic drug means it increases the urine formation to a certain extent. It doesn’t mean that you have to urinate in litres. Actually it increases urine secretion, it takes some time to act and it may not increases the frequency of urination.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
