Cyclothiazide and potassium is a combination diuretic used to treat hypertension and edema by promoting sodium and water excretion while balancing potassium levels. Cyclothiazide is a thiazide diuretic, while potassium is included to counter thiazide-induced hypokalemia. This combination was previously used, but is rarely prescribed today due to the availability of newer agents.
No published pharmacokinetic data available specific for the cyclothiazide and potassium combination product in humans. The following values are estimated based on data for cyclothiazide monotherapy in healthy adults; potassium PK is typically not modeled.
