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.
