thiazide-like diuretic

{{Short description|Class of drugs which promote urine production}}

A thiazide-like diuretic is a sulfonamide diuretic that has similar physiological properties to a thiazide diuretic, but does not have the chemical properties of a thiazide, lacking the benzothiadiazine molecular structure. Examples include metolazone, chlorthalidone, and indapamide.{{Cite book| edition = 7th| publisher = LWW| isbn = 978-1-60913-345-0| others = David Williams (ed.)| title = Foye's Principles of Medicinal Chemistry| location = Philadelphia| date = 2012-03-16}}
