Chlorthalidone dosing and the potential for every other day use in patients

Chlorthalidone, a tiny pill with a long half-life, is often prescribed to patients. Breaking it in half is difficult but not necessary as even one-third or two-thirds of a pill can provide a steady effect due to its long-acting nature. It is recommended to convince generic drug companies to sell a 12.5 milligram pill. Some patients have successfully taken a 25 milligram pill every other day. Overall, chlorthalidone's extended-release properties allow for flexible dosing.
