Surrey & North West Sussex Area Prescribing Committee (formerly Prescribing Clinical Network)
Thiazide-like diuretics such as Indapamide or chlorthalidone are the preferred option for patients requiring a diuretic for hypertension as per NICE Clinical Guideline 127.
However for people who are already having treatment with bendroflumethiazide and whose blood pressure is stable and well controlled, continue treatment with the bendroflumethiazide.
Note: 2.5mg produces a maximal blood pressure lowering effect, with very little biochemical disturbance
