Comparing the clinical profiles, pharmacokinetic behaviors, and safety indices of these two therapeutic agents.
Thiazide diuretic; inhibits sodium chloride cotransporter in distal convoluted tubule, increasing excretion of sodium and water, and reducing plasma volume.
Thiazide diuretic that inhibits the sodium-chloride symporter in the distal convoluted tubule, reducing sodium and chloride reabsorption, leading to increased diuresis and vasodilation.
50–100 mg orally once daily, maximum 200 mg daily
Initial 2.5-5 mg orally once daily; increase by 2.5-5 mg every 2-4 weeks up to 20 mg/day as needed.

Terminal elimination half-life is approximately 8-15 hours in patients with normal renal function; may be prolonged in renal impairment.
13–15 hours; prolonged in renal impairment (CrCl <30 mL/min: up to 30–40 hours).
Renal (approximately 50% as unchanged drug) and hepatic metabolism to inactive metabolites; fecal elimination accounts for about 10%.
Renal: ~85% unchanged; fecal: ~15% (via bile).
