Brand-name Thalitone comes in one strength: Thalitone 15 mg tablets. Technically, Thalitone is not equivalent to the generic versions of chlorthalidone. This medication is formulated differently and is absorbed into the body better than generic chlorthalidone is -- essentially making Thalitone more potent (which is why it comes in a lower strength).
