Bendroflumethiazide is a thiazide diuretic that inhibits the sodium-chloride symporter (NCC) in the distal convoluted tubule of the kidney, reducing sodium and chloride reabsorption and promoting diuresis.
Thiazide diuretic that inhibits sodium-chloride symporter in distal convoluted tubule, decreasing sodium and water reabsorption and reducing intravascular volume and blood pressure.
Hypertension: 2.5 mg orally once daily; may increase to 5 mg daily if needed. Edema: 2.5 to 10 mg orally once daily.

Terminal elimination half-life: 6-9 hours; prolonged in renal impairment and in elderly patients.
Terminal elimination half-life is approximately 18-24 hours; clinically, this supports once-daily dosing and requires renal function monitoring.
Renal excretion: approximately 95% as unchanged drug; biliary/fecal: <5%.
Primarily renal (70-80% as unchanged drug); the remainder (20-30%) is eliminated via biliary/fecal routes.
