Hi All,

Currently prescribed bendroflumethiazide 2.5mg from New Zealand as part of my high blood pressure medications. Pharmacy told me don't stock in Thailand. Has anyone had similar experience and what local alternative was prescribed.

Thank you

This drug is indeed not yet registered for use in Thailand.

 

Alternative drug in the same class (thaizide diuretic) is  Hydrochlorothiazide

 

Available in many local brands and quite cheap.

 

Studies  I have seen found no advantage to bendroflumethiazide  over hydrochlorthiazide. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/6369883/

Nonetheless double check with your doctor before making the switch. 

 

Also note dosages are different. I believe the equivalent for 2.5 mg bendroflumethiazide would be 12.5 mg hydrochlorthiazide which is 1/2 of a 25 mg tablet (it does not come in less than 25mg. Make sure to get scored tabs so easy to break in half).
