Quinethazone is a thiazide-like diuretic that was primarily used in the treatment of hypertension and edema. It acts by inhibiting sodium reabsorption in the distal tubules, resulting in increased excretion of sodium and water. While previously marketed, it is not widely used or approved in most countries today.
