Bendroflumethiazide

Description

Bendroflumethiazide is a medication that belongs to a group of medicines known as thiazide diuretics. It works by helping your kidneys remove excess water and salt from your body through urine. This process helps to lower high blood pressure by reducing the amount of fluid in your blood vessels, making it easier for your heart to pump blood around your body. Bendroflumethiazide is suitable for individuals with high blood pressure who need to manage their condition effectively.
