Diuretics can be used as first line of defense against high blood pressure
A study based at The University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston provides added justification that a thiazide-type diuretic is the best first-choice drug for hypertensive patients.
This is quite interesting as I was just debating this earlier in the day with a physician I work with. I think there are definite indications that prove to show how helpful a diuretic is in combating high blood pressure.
These drugs are generally well tolerated and inexpensive for the patient. And the medications have a duel purpose, fluid as well as lowering ones pressure.
