<p><b>New page</b></p><div>In the United States, the JNC8 (Eighth Joint National Committee on the Prevention, Detection, Evaluation, and Treatment of High Blood Pressure) recommends thiazide-type diuretics to be one of the first-line drug treatments for hypertension, either as monotherapy or in combination with [[calcium channel blockers]], [[ACE inhibitors]], or [[angiotensin II receptor antagonists]]. There are fixed-dose [[combination drugs]], such as [[ACE inhibitor and thiazide combination]]s. Despite thiazides being cheap and effective, they are not prescribed as often as some newer drugs. This is because they have been associated with increased risk of new-onset diabetes and as such are recommended for use in patients over 65, for whom the risk of new-onset diabetes is outweighed by the benefits of controlling systolic blood pressure. Another theory is that they are off-patent and thus rarely promoted by the drug industry.</div>FuzzyBot
