Introduction
• The thiazides are the most widely used of the diuretic
drugs
• Thiazide diuretics are sulfonamide derivatives
• All thiazides affect the distal tubule, and all have equal
maximum diuretic effects
• Are moderately potent diuretics.
• They are called ceiling diuretics.
• Act within 1-2 hours of oral administration Duration of
action 12-24 hours.
• It take 1-3 weeks to produce a stable reduction of
blood pressure.
• Administer early in the day
• Thiazide diuretics include: Chlorothiazide and
Hydrochlorthiazide. Bendroflumethiazide.
Chlortalidone.
Metolazone.
Xipamide and Indapamide.
Mechanism of action
• Inhibit reabsorption of Na+ and Cl- in the distal
convoluted tubule this results in water retention.
• Decrease reabsorption of Sodium by inhibition of
Na+/Cl- cotransporter on the luminal membrane of
the distal convoluted tubule.
• Their effect on the proximal convoluted tubule is
less.
• The acid-base balance is not usually affected.
• These drugs must be excreted into the tubular
lumen to be effective. Therefore with decreased
renal function thiazides are not effective.
• Thiazide diuretics decrease the Ca2+ content of
urine by promoting the reabsorption of Ca2+.
Indication
• Hypertension: reduce systolic and diastolic
blood pressure. Either used alone or with B-
BKs, ACEI.
• Heart Failure: Diuretic of choice in reduction
of extracellular volume in mild to moderate
heart failure if they fail loop diuretic can be
used.
• Hypercalciuria: They inhibit urinary Ca2+
excretion thus of benefit for patients with
calcium oxalate stones in the urinary tract.
• Diabetes insipidus: by production of a
hyperosmolar urine, they substitute
antidiuretic hormone in treatment of
nephrogenic diabetes insipidus.
Adverse effect
• 1- Hypokalaemia
• 2- Hyponatremia
• 3- Orthostatic hypotension
• 4- Hypercalcemia
• 5- hyperuricemia
Adverse effect (cont)
• 6- Hyperglycemia
7- Hyperlipidemia
• 8- Hypersensitivity
9- Renal impairment
Diuretic- thiazides
• Chlorothiazide: First orally active thiazide with
minimum side effects.
• Newer derivatives:
• Hydrochlorthiazide
• Bendroflumethiazide
Thiazide like analogs
• 1- Chlorthalidone: is a nonthiazide derivative that
behaves pharmacologically like hydrochlorothiazide.
It has a very long duration of action and, therefore, is
often used to treat hypertension.
• 2- Metolazone : is more potent than the thiazides
and, unlike the thiazides, causes Na+ excretion in
advanced renal failure.
• 3- Xipamide and Indapamide: chemically
related to chlortalidone cause less metabolic
disturbances, less diabetes mellitus. At low dose
act as anti HT withminimal diuretic effect.they
are excreted primarily by the biliary system.
Drug –drug Interactions
• Many of the interactions of hydrochlorothiazide and
other thiazides are due to their effects on fluid and
electrolyte balance.
1. Diuretic x digitalis glycosides (hypokalimea &
cardiacarrhythmia)
2. Diuretic x astemizole (non-sedating antihistamine) ……
(arrhythmias) (QT)
3. Diuretic x atracurium (enhance N M blockerer) .
(hypokalaemea)
• drug may enhance the hypokalemic effect of diuretic.
• Corticosteroids
• B2 agonists ( salbutamol)
• carbenoxolone, (oral ulcer)
• amphotericin B (anti B)
• Reboxetine ( I reuptake noradrenaline)
• Diuretics X antihypertensives
may enhance hypotension if used with (a-blockers or ACEI
• Orthostatic hypotension associated with diuretics may be
enhanced by alcohol, barbiturates, or opioids.
• The antihypertensive effects of diuretics may be
antagonised by drugs that cause fluid retention, such as
corticosteroids, NSAIDs, or carbenoxolone
• Thiazides X oral hypoglycaemics adjusment require
• NAIDs nephrotixicity enhance by thiazides
• Toxicity of Lithium & tetracyclines enhance
• trimethoprim .A,B (hyponatraemia) with thiazid
• hydrochlorothiazide X carbamazepine.
(hyponatraemia)
• Bile-acid binding resins X hydrochlorothiazide
• (reduce GIT absorption of thiazide)
• Calcium salts X chlorothiazide
• induce milk-alkali syndrome, characterized by
hypocalcaemia, metabolic alkalosis, and renal failure
• Hypercalcaemia may also occur in patients taking
thiazides with drugs that increase calcium levels, such
as vitamin D.
contraindication
*Hypotension
*Allergy to sulphur-containing medications
*Gout
*Renal failure
*Hypokalemia
*May worsen diabetes
• Thiazides can decrease placental perfusion and adversely affect
the fetus so should be avoided in pregnancy.
