A 70 year old man has been taking Bendroflumethiazide for hypertension for many years. A recent routine blood test revealed a moderate neutropenia, thrombocytopenia and raised alkaline phosphatase level. Subsequent investigation has shown a monoclonal gammopathy with no evidence of myeloma or other serious pathology. Could the BFZ be implicated in these findings?
Is there any known or suspected association between BFZ and MGUS?

Hematologic side effects from bendroflumethiazide are rare. Rare cases of immune-complex hemolytic anemia, aplastic anemia, and thrombocytopenia have been associated with thiazide diuretics.
