Abstract

This review focuses on thiazides, the diuretics most often indicated for long-term therapy for hypertension. Thiazide diuretics reduce blood pressure when administered as monotherapy; thiazides also enhance the efficacy of other antihypertensive agents and can reduce hypertension-related morbidity and mortality.
