Used primarily in the treatment of hypertension and edema, this compound helps reduce fluid retention by increasing urine production. It works by inhibiting sodium reabsorption in the distal tubules of the kidney, which promotes the excretion of water, sodium, and chloride. Due to its antihypertensive effects, it is often prescribed as part of a regimen to manage high blood pressure, especially in patients who also have heart or kidney-related fluid buildup. Its long duration of action allows for once-daily dosing in many cases, improving patient compliance.
