Demi-Regroton

Generic Name: chlorthalidone and reserpine (klor THAL i done and re SER peen)

Brand Names: Demi-Regroton, Regroton

What is Demi-Regroton (chlorthalidone and reserpine)?

Reserpine lowers blood pressure by decreasing the levels of certain chemicals in your blood. This allows your blood vessels (veins and arteries) to relax and your heart to beat more slowly and easily.

Chlorthalidone is a thiazide diuretic (water pill). It helps to lower your blood pressure and decrease edema (swelling) by increasing the amount of salt and water you lose in your urine.

Together, chlorthalidone and reserpine are used to lower high blood pressure.

Chlorthalidone and reserpine may also be used for purposes other than those listed in this medication guide.

What is the most important information I should know about Demi-Regroton (chlorthalidone and reserpine)?

Stand up slowly from a sitting or lying position. Chlorthalidone and reserpine may make you feel dizzy. Do not stop taking chlorthalidone and reserpine suddenly. Even if you feel better, you need this medication to control your condition. Stopping suddenly could cause severe high blood pressure, anxiety, and other dangerous side effects.

Tell your doctor and dentist that you are taking this medication before having surgery.

Who should not take Demi-Regroton (chlorthalidone and reserpine)?

Do not take chlorthalidone and reserpine if you have an allergy to sulfa-based drugs such as sulfa antibiotics. You may have an allergic reaction to chlorthalidone.

• 
  

  have ulcerative colitis;

  
  


• 
  

  are suffering from depression (especially if you have suicidal thoughts);

  
  


• 
  

  are receiving electroconvulsive shock therapy; or

  
  


• 
  

  are receiving a monoamine oxidase inhibitor such as isocarboxazid (Marplan), phenelzine (Nardil), or tranylcypromine (Parnate).

  
  

Before taking this medication, tell your doctor if you have

• 
  

  gallstones or other stomach problems,

  
  


• kidney or liver disease,

You may require a lower dose or special monitoring during therapy with chlorthalidone and reserpine if you have any of the conditions listed above.

Chlorthalidone and reserpine is in the FDA pregnancy category C. This means that it is not known whether chlorthalidone and reserpine will harm an unborn baby. Do not take this medication without first talking to your doctor if you are pregnant. Chlorthalidone and reserpine passes into breast milk and may harm a nursing infant. Do not take this medication without first talking to your doctor if you are breast-feeding a baby. If you are over 60 years of age, you may be more likely to experience side effects from chlorthalidone and reserpine therapy. You may require a lower dose of this medication. Chlorthalidone and reserpine has not been approved for use by children.

How should I take Demi-Regroton (chlorthalidone and reserpine)?

Take chlorthalidone and reserpine exactly as directed. If you do not understand these directions, ask your pharmacist, nurse, or doctor to explain them to you.

Take each dose with a full glass of water. Take chlorthalidone and reserpine with food or milk if it upsets your stomach.

Do not stop taking chlorthalidone and reserpine suddenly. Stopping suddenly could make your condition much worse or cause very serious side effects.

Store this medication at room temperature away from moisture and heat.

What happens if I miss a dose?

Take the missed dose as soon as you remember. However, if it is almost time for your next dose, skip the dose you missed and take only your next regularly scheduled dose. Do not take a double dose of this medication.

What happens if I overdose?

Seek emergency medical treatment.

Symptoms of a chlorthalidone and reserpine overdose include low blood pressure (fainting, dizziness, weakness); sleepiness; uncontrollable hand, arm, or leg movements; a slow pulse; low body temperature; diarrhea; increased urination; vomiting; and slow breathing.

What should I avoid while taking Demi-Regroton (chlorthalidone and reserpine)?

Avoid a diet high in salt. Too much salt will cause your body to retain water and will decrease the effects of chlorthalidone.

Use caution when arising from a sitting or lying position, especially first thing in the morning. You may become dizzy while taking chlorthalidone and reserpine, and you may fall and injure yourself if you get up quickly.

Do not let yourself become overheated in hot weather or during exercise, and use caution if you have a fever. These situations increase the effects of chlorthalidone and reserpine in your body, and you may become very dizzy.

Also, chlorthalidone may increase the sensitivity of your skin to sunlight. Use a sunscreen and wear protective clothing when exposure to the sun is unavoidable. Avoid alcohol while taking chlorthalidone and reserpine. Alcohol, which will further lower your blood pressure, will also increase the drowsiness caused by chlorthalidone and reserpine and may increase dizziness. Use caution even with small amounts of alcohol.

Do not take any over-the-counter cough, cold, allergy, sleep, or diet medications without first asking your doctor or pharmacist. These medicines will interfere with your chlorthalidone and reserpine therapy.

Use caution when you are driving, operating machinery, or performing other hazardous activities until you know how chlorthalidone and reserpine affects you. If it makes you dizzy or drowsy, avoid these activities.

Tell your doctor and dentist that you are taking this medication before having surgery.
