Benzthiazide

Benzthiazide is a thiazide diuretic drug that is used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension) and edema (fluid retention) in conditions such as congestive heart failure. It works by increasing urine production and decreasing excess salt and water in the body. Like other diuretics, benzthiazide can also help lower blood pressure by reducing the volume of fluid in the blood vessels. It is typically taken orally in tablet form. Side effects may include dizziness, headache, nausea, and electrolyte imbalances. It is important to take benzthiazide as directed by a healthcare provider and to monitor for potential side effects.
