Generally, thiazide diuretics are better for patients with hypertension than loop diuretics. This is even more true when the thiazide diuretic is used alone as a monotherapy. Loop diuretics are preferable for hypertensive patients with decreased glomerular filtration rates because of renal impairment or heart failure.
