Bendroflumethiazide tablets belong to a group of medicines known as thiazide diuretics. They are taken to help:

• Reduce fluid retention in the heart, kidneys, liver or that caused by medication which increases the flow of urine.
• Reduce high blood pressure – either taken on its own or with other medicines.

High blood pressure, or hypertension rarely has any noticeable symptoms but if it is left untreated it can increase your risk of suffering a kidney disease, a stroke, dementia, a heart attack or failure. High blood pressure affects 1 in 4 adults in England yet over 5 million people are estimated to be unaware they have it.

The only way to identify a high blood pressure problem and potentially catch a life threatening condition is to have your blood pressure checked regularly, at least once every 5 years. People over the age of 65, people who are overweight and have an unhealthy diet are the most at risk of high blood pressure. There are steps which can be taken to reduce your blood pressure and keep it in check.
