About Bendroflumethiazide

What Is Bendroflumethiazide?

Bendroflumethiazide is a thiazide diuretic for high blood pressure. This type of medication is also referred to as water tablets, as it reduces the amount of fluid your body retains. By making you pass more urine, water tablets remove fluid from your body, which lowers your blood pressure levels and makes it less strenuous for your heart to pump your blood through your body. When used to treat hypertension, Bendroflumethiazide tablets are often combined with other medications, such as beta blockers.

How Are Bendroflumethiazide Tablets Taken?

When you are first prescribed Bendroflumethiazide, your GP will explain how often you have to take your tablets. It is important that you follow your doctor’s advice carefully and that you attend regular check-ups to monitor your blood pressure. Usually, Bendroflumethiazide is taken in the morning, to avoid frequent urination at night. Swallow your tablets whole with a drink of water.

Your doctor will decide which dosage is best for you. The usual Bendroflumethiazide dosage for the treatment of blood pressure is 2.5mg per day. Which exact dosage you require depends on your blood pressure, how you respond to the treatment and which other medications you are taking. Combination medications such as Prestim contain Bendroflumethiazide as well as a beta blocker, reducing the amount of tablets you need to take in a day. Elderly patients and patients with impaired kidney function may be prescribed a lower dosage. Please note, product packaging may differ from the image above.

During long term treatment with Bendroflumethiazide, your doctor may carry out blood or urine tests to monitor your blood levels of certain chemicals as well as your kidney function.
