Bendroflumethiazide is a thiazide diuretic that inhibits the sodium-chloride symporter (NCC) in the distal convoluted tubule of the nephron, increasing excretion of sodium, chloride, and water. It also reduces peripheral vascular resistance and has antihypertensive effects.

Terminal elimination half-life is approximately 2-4 hours; clinical context: dose adjustments may be needed in renal impairment.
Terminal elimination half-life is approximately 18-24 hours; clinically, this supports once-daily dosing and requires renal function monitoring.
Primarily renal (approximately 50-70% as unchanged drug); biliary/fecal elimination accounts for the remainder (30-50%).
