Daily diuretic tablet for high blood pressure.
Bendroflumethiazide is a treatment for high blood pressure, also known as hypertension. It’s a tablet you take every day.
Start a consultation and we’ll tailor our recommendations to suit your needs. Order Bendroflumethiazide and get it delivered by the next working day.
Bendroflumethiazide is a diuretic tablet that treats high blood pressure and oedema. High blood pressure, sometimes referred to as hypertension, can put strain on your vital organs, including your heart, liver and brain.
You usually take Bendroflumethiazide every day. It’s a generic medication that contains one active ingredient (bendroflumethiazide), and is normally taken each morning. It works for around 12-24 hours. Diuretics are often called ‘water tablets’, because they cause you to urinate more. This is why people tend to avoid taking them in the evening — the urge to use the toilet during the night can interrupt your regular sleeping pattern.
Diuretics are usually prescribed when your blood pressure is high (hypertension) or when you have too much fluid in your body (oedema). Specifically, Bendroflumethiazide belongs to a group of medications called thiazide diuretics. Unlike loop and potassium-sparing diuretics that are often used to help with fluid retention, thiazides are mainly used at a low dose to treat hypertension.
Those who are over 65, of black Caribbean or black African descent, or have a family history of hypertension-related health complications, have a higher risk of developing high blood pressure.
Hypertension can also be caused by other conditions like diabetes, but often it’s brought on by an unhealthy lifestyle. People who are overweight, don’t exercise regularly, smoke or drink too much alcohol are all at risk of developing high blood pressure.
Bendroflumethiazide works by reducing the amount of excess fluid in your arteries. Because your heart has less fluid to pump around your body, your blood pressure starts to come down.
There are two doses of Bendroflumethiazide tablets: 2.5mg and 5mg. The usual dose for managing hypertension is a single 2.5mg tablet each morning.
A clinician might decide you need the higher strength dose, but it’s quite rare for anyone to need the 5mg tablets to manage their high blood pressure.

Bendroflumethiazide tablets need to be swallowed whole with a drink of water. The medication will work better if you take it at the same time each day. So you don’t need to use the toilet at any point in the night, it’s recommended you take Bendroflumethiazide first thing in the morning.
You might find it useful to keep your tablets somewhere you’ll see them every morning, like your bathroom cabinet. You could keep a reminder note somewhere prominent, or set an alarm on your phone specifically for taking your tablet.
The tablets usually start to work in your system within a few hours of swallowing them, but it might be 3 or 4 days (or longer) before your blood pressure starts to drop significantly.
It might be recommended that you take Bendroflumethiazide for a long time, so you can get the full benefits of the medication. You can discuss this with a clinician. It’s important to continue taking the tablets when you start to see your hypertension improving, as stopping them can cause your blood pressure to spike up again.
If you forget to take one of your Bendroflumethiazide tablets, just wait until your next dose is due before taking another. There’s no need to take more than one a day, and taking it at a different time than usual might upset your normal dosage routine.
If you take more tablets than you need, for any reason, go to your nearby hospital’s accident and emergency department. If you can, bring your medicine or the patient information leaflet (PIL) with you so the hospital staff can get you the help you need faster.
