Bendroflumethiazide is a medication known as a thiazide diuretic (often called a "water tablet"). It works by encouraging the kidneys to remove excess salt and water from the body through the urine. By reducing the total amount of fluid circulating in your blood vessels, it effectively lowers blood pressure and reduces the physical strain on your heart.
This 28-tablet pack is primarily used for the long-term management of cardiovascular conditions. It is indicated for:
Hypertension (High Blood Pressure): Lowering blood pressure to reduce the risk of future strokes and heart attacks.
Edema: Reducing fluid retention (swelling) caused by conditions such as heart failure, or liver and kidney disorders.
Bendroflumethiazide (2.5mg): The standard low-dose strength for hypertension. This dose is highly effective at lowering blood pressure while minimizing the risk of causing significant electrolyte imbalances.
For Hypertension: Usually one (1) 2.5mg tablet once daily, taken in the morning.
For Edema: A higher starting dose may be used (e.g., 5mg to 10mg), followed by a lower maintenance dose.
Timing: Because this is a diuretic, it will make you urinate more frequently. It is best taken in the morning so that the effect wears off before bedtime, preventing interrupted sleep.
Consistency: Take your tablet at the same time every morning. It can be taken with or without food.
Hydration: While the goal is to remove excess fluid, you should still drink a normal amount of water unless your doctor has specifically given you a fluid-restriction limit.
Monitoring: Your doctor will likely perform periodic blood tests to check your levels of potassium, sodium, and uric acid.
Potassium Levels: Thiazide diuretics can sometimes lower your blood potassium. If you experience muscle cramps, weakness, or an irregular heartbeat, contact our pharmacist.
Gout: This medication can occasionally increase the levels of uric acid in the blood. If you have a history of gout, inform your doctor as it may trigger a flare-up.
Diabetes: Bendroflumethiazide can sometimes affect blood sugar control. If you are diabetic, monitor your glucose levels more closely when starting treatment.
Photosensitivity: Your skin may become more sensitive to sunlight. Wear sunscreen or protective clothing during prolonged outdoor activity.
Alcohol: Avoid excessive alcohol, as it can combine with the medication to cause an unsafe drop in blood pressure, leading to dizziness or fainting.
Indicated For: Adults requiring effective blood pressure management or fluid reduction. It is a well-established, cost-effective choice for primary hypertension.
Q: Will I have to use the bathroom immediately?
A: The diuretic effect usually begins within 2 hours of taking the tablet and lasts for about 6 to 12 hours. This is why morning administration is highly recommended.
Q: Can I stop taking it once my blood pressure is normal?
A: No. High blood pressure is a chronic condition. If you stop the medication, your blood pressure will likely return to high levels, increasing your risk of cardiovascular events.
Q: Why are there 28 tablets?
A: This provides a 4-week (28-day) supply, aligning perfectly with standard monthly clinical reviews and prescription cycles.
