I have been on a course of Furosemide prescribed @ 10 mgs per day and afer a recent Blood test my Family Doctor has changed the drug to Bendrofluthiazide !2.5mg per day)

Ok I read that they do the same Job
Is this a More powerful drug and is this new dose the same as the original?

PS Blood test came up clear

Bendrofluthiazide is a Thiazide diuretic, and Furosemide is a loop diuretic... each drug accomplishes the same result but by different means and with different risks and benefits- your best move would be to ask your physician exactly why he thought the new drug was a better choice.

Thanks for that. Did a bit of digging and came up with this fact the New Drug is a "Low ceiling diuretic" meaning in Plain English it's Not as Much work on Your Kidneys (You know what I mean?)

Whereas High ceiling diuretics like Furosemide do Put stress on the Kidneys...Meaning If ya gotta go Ya gotta go!!

The "low ceiling" version expels the waste product via Perspiration and/or Via the Lungs Going to have coughing fits .Had that already Now I have another 3 months plus Coughing to look forward to OH JOY!
