trichlormethiazide

Trichlormethiazide (Naqua) is a short-acting, 3-dichloromethyl derivative of hydrochlorothiazide, belonging to the class of thiazide diuretics. Trichlormethiazide appears to block the active reabsorption of chloride and possibly sodium in the ascending loop of Henle, altering electrolyte transfer in the proximal tubule.

Trichlormethiazide sodium is an orally active thiazide diuretic with antihypertensive effects. In an acute renal failure rats model, it increases urine volume (UV), Na and K excretion, and tends to improve creatinine clearance (CCRE).
