Issues with water retention may not be resolved with any antihypertensives except diuretics. Where water retention is concerned, a thiazide-like diuretic like **Chlortalidone (Chlorthalidone)** can be used. Chlorthalidone also has novel mechanism that sets it apart from other diuretics. A write up will be done on Chlortalidone soon to illustrate how important this particular diuretic is to anabolic steroid users - it will literally reverse LVH and reduce left ventricular mass. Chlortalidone alone will normalise blood pressure to perfect levels for those who have hypertension due to water retention.
Sort of OT:
Anyone using this stuff? Per the limited research I did, it “may” be kidney friendly. I am supposed to be on a diuretic (HCTZ) alongside my 40 mg Telmisartan but didn’t want to use it long term due to potential adverse kidney issues. I am on an herbal with a safe kidney profile, just not sure if it’s “enough”.
Thanks in advance.
“The persistent reduction in the degree of albuminuria with the use of chlorthalidone suggests that the drug has the potential to provide cardiovascular and kidney protection in patients with chronic kidney disease.”
