Mechanism Of Action and Pharmacodynamic Effects ![]() |
Trichlormethiazide blocks the active reabsorption of chloride in the ascending loop of Henle by inhibiting the thiazide-sensitive sodium-chloride symporter, SLC12A3. This results in excretion of sodium, chloride and water, thus reducing fluid retention and oedema. |
