| | If you presently use a thiazide as your first choice in all patients with hypertension, the ALLHAT results confirm your practice, and most of your treated hypertensive patients receive a thiazide alone or as a part of combination therapy. | | | Step 3 add-on therapy was hydralazine 25-100 mg BID. | | | Hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ) and enalapril were suggested initial therapy but the family practitioners were able to choose which thiazide or ACEI and the dose. |

| | Thiazide - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Thiazides are a class of drug that promote water loss from the body ((diuretics)). | | | The chemical structure of the original thiazide diuretics contained a thiazide ring system; the term is also used for drugs with a similar action that are not chemically thiazides, such as chlortalidone. | | | The side effect of hypokalemia has motivated combining thiazides with ACE inhibitors, which also lower blood pressure but cause hyperkalemia as a side-effect. |

| | Thiazide Diuretics May Prevent Hip Fractures |
| | Researcher Marieta W.C.J. Schoofs, MD, MSc, of Erasmus MC, Rotterdam, Netherlands, and colleagues say more research is needed to determine whether the effects of thiazide diuretics are similar to or enhance those of other drugs used to prevent hip fractures. | | | Thiazide diuretics are often used to treat high blood pressure, but researchers say they may also protect against age-related bone loss by reducing the amount of calcium expelled in urine. | | | High blood pressure is a common medical problem that often requires long-term treatment, and researchers say their findings suggest that using thiazide diuretics to treat hypertension in this manner may also have the added benefit of lowering the risk of hip fracture. |

| | Secondary, patient level meta analysis of trials in hypertension that have involved thiazide diuretics and beta-blockers would more reliably inform this issue. | | | Meta-analysis of available trials suggests that patients exposed to treatment regimens combining thiazide (or thiazide-like) diuretics and beta-blockers are at greater risk of developing diabetes than regimens avoiding this combination (risk ratio for alternative therapy: 0.81, 95%CI: 0.77 to 0.86; Q; p=0.17). | | | Conclusions: The balance of benefit and harm suggests that the routine combined use of a thiazide diuretic with a beta-blocker may need to be avoided in the early management of hypertension. |
