DIURETICS
Diuretics increase urination which reduces sodium and fluid in the body. That can help lower blood pressure because it lowers blood volume. Mild hypertension can sometimes be treated using diuretics alone, although they are more commonly used in combination with other high blood pressure medications. Examples of diuretics include:
Bumetanide (Bumex)
Chlorthalidone (Hygroton)
Chlorothiazide (Diuril)
Ethacrynate (Edecrin)
Furosemide (Lasix)
Hydrochlorothiazide HCTZ (Esidrix, Hydrodiuril, Microzide)
Indapamide (Lozol)
Methyclothiazide (Enduron)
Metolazone (Mykroz, Zaroxolyn)
Torsemide (Demadex)
