Chlorothiazide
The first thiazide diuretic developed, working by inhibiting sodium and chloride reabsorption in the distal tubule of the kidney to promote urine output and lower blood pressure. It is used to treat hypertension and edema associated with heart failure, renal disease, and cirrhosis. Metabolic side effects include hypokalemia, hyperglycemia, and elevated uric acid levels.
