To determine usefulness and versatility of hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ) relative to other thiazide diuretics in the treatment of hypertension. Hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ) was found to be less potent in lowering BP than other thiazide diuretics, including chlorthalidone (CTD) and bendroflumethiazide. A recent meta-analysis also suggested HCTZ (12.5–25 mg daily) to be less potent than antihypertensive agents from several other classes, including angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors, angiotensin-receptor blockers, and calcium antagonists. The risk of hyponatremia, hypokalemia, and hyperuricemia associated with HCTZ was lower than CTD while the risk of gouty arthritis was similar. Despite lower risks of metabolic side effects, meta-analysis of clinical trials showed that, for any given difference in achieved clinic systolic BP, HCTZ therapy was associated with 18% higher adverse cardiovascular events when compared to CTD. Increasing evidence suggested inferiority of HCTZ in lowering BP and cardiovascular outcomes in hypertensive patients when compared to other drugs in the same class, particularly chlorthalidone and Indapamide. Thus, HCTZ is neither more useful nor versatile than other thiazide diuretics. CTD and indapamide should be preferred over HCTZ in most hypertensive patients when diuretics are required for treatment of hypertension.
