what are thiazide like diuretics?
434395
A thiazide-like diuretic is a sulfonamide diuretic that has similar physiological properties to a thiazide diuretic, but does not have the chemical properties of a thiazide, lacking the benzothiadiazine molecular structure. Examples include metolazone and chlorthalidone.

Yep, these are safe if you have a sulfa allergy. Thiazide diuretics like chlorthalidone and hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ) are used to treat high blood pressure and are fine to take even if you've been told you have a sulfa allergy to Bactrim.

Hydrochlorothiazide belongs to a class of drugs known as diuretics/"water pills." It works by causing you to make more urine. This helps your body get rid of extra salt and water. This medication also reduces extra fluid in the body (edema) caused by conditions such as heart failure, liver disease, or kidney disease.

As a result, lisinopril relaxes the blood vessels. This lowers blood pressure and increases the supply of blood and oxygen to the heart. Hydrochlorothiazide is a thiazide diuretic (water pill). It reduces the amount of water in the body by increasing the flow of urine which helps lower the blood pressure.

RIDAQ-12,5 (tablet) PHARMACOLOGICAL ACTION: Hydrochlorothiazide is a diuretic which reduces the reabsorption of electrolytes from the renal tubules, thereby increasing the excretion of sodium, potassium and chloride ions, and consequently of water.

Thiazide diuretics (sometimes called water pills) are a common cause of hyponatremia. These drugs increase sodium excretion, which increases water excretion. Thiazide diuretics are usually well-tolerated but can cause hyponatremia in people prone to low sodium, particularly the elderly.

Lasix (furosemide) and hydrochlorothiazide are diuretics (water pills) used treat excess accumulation of fluid or swelling of the body (edema) caused by heart failure, kidney disease, chronic kidney failure, or liver disease. Lasix and hydrochlorothiazide are also used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension).

Hydrochlorothiazide is a thiazide diuretic (water pill). Lisinopril is in an ACE inhibitor (ACE stands for angiotensin converting enzyme). Hydrochlorothiazide and lisinopril is a combination medicine used to treat hypertension (high blood pressure).

When used on their own, potassium-sparing diuretics are weak diuretics. Loop diuretics and thiazide diuretics are stronger than potassium-sparing diuretics with regard to making the kidneys pass out more fluid. However, they also increase the amount of potassium passed out of the body through the kidneys.

Hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ or HCT) is a diuretic medication often used to treat high blood pressure and swelling due to fluid build up.

In summary, torsemide but not furosemide is a good option to prevent thiazide-induced hypokalemia and hypomagnesemia, which may be due to its antialdosterone effects. Moreover, torsemide may also prevent loop diuretic resistance, whereas these benefits would not be expected to be seen with furosemide.

Thiazide and Thiazide-Like Diuretics The exact mechanism of how thiazide diuretics cause the development of hyperglycemia is unknown. However, it is postulated to involve worsening of insulin resistance, inhibition of glucose uptake, and decreased insulin release, among other pathways.

There are 5 main types of diuretics; carbonic anhydrase inhibitors, osmotic diuretics, thiazide and thiazide-like diuretics, loop diuretics,, and last but not least, potassium sparing diuretics - which is the only class of diuretic that retains potassium, rather than wasting it.
