Thalidon Tablet 25 mg contains Chlorthalidone, a long-acting thiazide-like diuretic used for the treatment of high blood pressure (hypertension) and fluid retention (edema). It helps reduce excess salt and water from the body, leading to lower blood pressure and reduced strain on the heart. It is widely used for long-term cardiovascular protection.
