利尿劑類高血壓藥,顧名思義就是強迫高血壓病患排尿,讓血液中的水分減少,醫學研究指出,身體一旦水分缺乏,就會增加尿酸的回收。全球心血管醫師用藥指引 JNC7 (The Seventh Report of Joint National Committee on Detection, Evaluation and Treatment of High Blood Pressure),將Thiazide類利尿劑類高血壓藥列為治療一般高血壓的第一線用藥,所謂第一線用藥就是泛指症狀較為輕度、剛開始有高血壓症狀, 血壓在150~160以下的高血壓病患。目前常用的利尿劑類高血壓藥物有: Aldactone(安達)、LYSIX(克利淨) 、 Uretropic (通舒錠)、Slosat(賜樂泄)、Landuet(帝脈)等。
