How do Thiazide Diuretics Work? Understanding Bendroflumethiazide and Indapamide HD

The video contains a simple and visual explanation of how bendroflumethiazide and indapamide, both thiazide diuretics, work to encourage the kidneys to excrete more water and sodium. We cover some basics about how the nephron works and look in detail at the action of thiazide diuretics on the thiazide sensitive sodium chloride co transporter molecule in the distal tubule of the nephron. We also talk about the indications, some practical tips on using thiazide diuretics, adverse effects and contraindications. I love creating resources to help medical students with their studies.
