Product Description
Mechanism of action
Benthiazide is a thiazide diuretic that inhibits the Na⁺/Cl⁻ transporter (NCC) in the distal convoluted tubule, promoting natriuresis and diuresis. It also decreases calcium excretion and reduces peripheral vascular resistance with chronic use.
Benefits and advantages
Used in renal electrolyte research, NCC-transporter modelling, antihypertensive studies, thiazide comparative pharmacology and calcium-handling investigations. Provides insights into nephron-segment specificity.
Side effects and risks
Risks include electrolyte imbalance, hyperuricaemia, photosensitivity, hypotension and metabolic changes. Handle with thiazide-active safety precautions.
