Product Description
Mechanism of action
Buthiazide is a thiazide diuretic that blocks the Na⁺/Cl⁻ symporter (NCC) in the distal convoluted tubule, increasing sodium, chloride and water excretion. It reduces plasma volume and peripheral vascular resistance while also decreasing urinary calcium loss. Pharmacologically similar to other thiazides, buthiazide offers distinct kinetic properties relevant to dosage modelling.
Benefits and advantages
Used in diuretic-comparison studies, renal-electrolyte transport research, hypertension models, calcium-handling experiments, NCC-transporter pharmacology and chronic-thiazide mechanism studies.
Side effects and risks
Risks include hypokalaemia, hyponatraemia, hyperuricaemia, photosensitivity and mild metabolic disturbances. Handle as a thiazide-active compound with moisture protection.
