thiazides

Thiazides can make your skin more sensitive to the sun.

There seems little justification for the use of thiazides in these patients.

Heart failure is common in patients with high blood pressure, and so these patients were often given thiazides.

Thiazides are also used in the treatment of osteoporosis.

Some authors have challenged thiazides as first line treatment.

However, certain classes of diuretic usually fall into this category, such as the thiazides.

Eating too much salt reduces the effect of thiazides.

These drugs are called benzothiadiazides, or thiazides for short.

In most countries, the thiazides are the cheapest antihypertensive drugs available.

Therefore, they are often included in the thiazide diuretics despite not being thiazides themselves.

Thiazides are often used to prevent calcium kidney stones.

The thiazides cause a net decrease in calcium lost in urine.

Additionally, other diuretic agents such as thiazides were excluded.

Thiazides cause loss of blood potassium, while conserving blood calcium.

Diuretics such as loops and thiazides decrease the filtration fraction.

Unlike with thiazides, only terminal renal failure renders xipamide ineffective.

Thiazides have been shown to reduce hypertension-related morbidity and mortality, although how they lower blood pressure in the long term is not fully understood.

Thiazides have no major effect on renal blood flow, but are likely to decrease glomerular filtration rate.

Changes in drug availability and existing evidence during the period studied make it difficult to calculate the exact extent to which thiazides were under-prescribed.

Thiazides reduce the amount of calcium in the urine, which may prevent calcium kidney stones.

Thiazides may prevent the formation of calcium kidney stones, especially if changing your diet and drinking more fluids have not helped.

Possible side effects of thiazides include:

Use of thiazides for kidney stones is an unlabeled use of these medicines.

The effects of thiazides on serum and urinary zinc in patients with renal calculi.

Your doctor may suggest you get extra potassium, because thiazides lower your potassium levels.
