Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Incomplete data as what are age, gender, name, and purpose of taking water pill?
Chlorthalidone is also a "water pill" (diuretic) commonly prescribed to treat high blood pressure(hypertension) and to reduce extra salt and water in the body caused by edematous conditions such as heart failure, liver disease, and kidney disease.
If your treating doctor has prescribed the other 'water pill' for one of the above conditions, then you may take Chlorthalidone after consulting him. Pravastatin is a cholesterol-lowering medication which is best taken in the evening or night.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
