Thiazide diuretic that inhibits the sodium-chloride symporter (NCC) in the distal convoluted tubule, reducing sodium and water reabsorption and increasing potassium excretion.
Thiazide diuretic that inhibits the sodium-chloride symporter in the distal convoluted tubule, reducing sodium and chloride reabsorption, leading to increased diuresis and vasodilation.
