Hi,I am Dr. Amitkumar Sharma (Internal Medicine Specialist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Can One Discontinue Chlorthalidone Due To Severe Stomach Cramps?
I understand that one should not abruptly stop taking chlorthalidone 25mg. I have been taking it for 3 days and I am now experiencing very servere cramping, particularly in the stomach muscles. It is the only change in my medications and have had no change in my diet, so can easily deduce that this medication is causing this serious discomfort. Would it be safe to stop the meds considering that have only taken 1/2 25mg a day for the last three days. Just started this medication.
For which condition you are taking Chlorthalidone? Discontinuation will depend on the situation you are suffering from. Instead I can advice some alternative medication also. Chlorthalidone usually is not associated with such type of side effects, so I want to know if you are taking other medications or not?
Sudden withdrawal of Chlorthalidone does not cause any problem other than arise by the disease itself.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
