Thiazides-

• Like other diuretics they also excrete Na+ & water which lowers blood pressure initially

• Long term antihypertensive action is due to vasodilation

DRUG THERAPY

• Thiazides - first choice drugs in HTN unless contra-indicated

• BP may not be controlled by single drug due to activation of compensatory mechanism
