Combination products containing bendroflumethiazide
A combination is a different drug — different dosing, different warnings. It is listed here so you can find it, not so you can substitute it.
Bendroflumethiazide and breastfeeding
From LactMed, the US National Library of Medicine’s Drugs and Lactation Database — quoted, not rewritten.
Full LactMed record for bendroflumethiazide: levels in milk, effects in breastfed infants, and the drugs it would consider insteadNo information is available on the amount of bendroflumethiazide in breastmilk. Intense diuresis with large doses of bendroflumethiazide can decrease breastmilk production, especially during the neonatal period. Shorter-acting diuretics in low doses are preferred over bendroflumethiazide.

What people report to the FDA about bendroflumethiazide
The FDA Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) collects reports from patients and clinicians. It holds 11,714 reports naming bendroflumethiazide, and the FDA flagged 99% of those reports as serious. The effects reported most often — leaving out reports about overdose, misuse or the condition being treated, which dominate the raw list for common medicines:
- malaise917 reports
- dyspnoea912 reports
- diarrhoea855 reports
- vomiting843 reports
- dizziness838 reports
- nausea816 reports
- fatigue779 reports
- headache736 reports
Read these as a signal, not a rate. A report does not mean bendroflumethiazide caused the effect — anyone can file one, and many describe people taking several medicines for several conditions. Crucially there is no denominator: FAERS does not record how many people took the drug, so these counts cannot be turned into “X% of patients” — a bigger number often just means a more widely used or more talked-about drug. Duplicates exist, and publicity drives reporting. For what is actually established, read the FDA label section above.

Frequently asked questions
Can you take bendroflumethiazide with other medicines?
It depends on the medicine. We check it against the FDA labels rather than guessing: our interaction checker searches each drug's own label for the other and quotes what it says, naming the section it came from. Run bendroflumethiazide against whatever else you take — and remember that a label not naming a drug is not the same as that combination being safe.
What brand names is bendroflumethiazide sold under?
We track 3 bendroflumethiazide-containing products in the U.S.: Naturetin-10, Naturetin-2.5 and Naturetin-5. They are the same active ingredient; they differ in form, manufacturer, price and FDA recall record.
What forms does bendroflumethiazide come in?
Across the brands we track, bendroflumethiazide is currently marketed as tablet, per the FDA's National Drug Code Directory. Each form is dosed differently — follow the label for the exact product you were prescribed.
Is there a generic bendroflumethiazide?
We do not currently list a generic-labelled bendroflumethiazide product. That does not always mean none exists — it means none appears under a generic name in the FDA data we track. Ask your pharmacist.
