Hydrochloride

Hydrochlorothiazide is a water pill known as a diuretic or fluid pill, which helps to reduce the amount of salt and water the body retains. This substance is commonly used to treat edema or swelling caused by various conditions like heart failure, kidney disease, and liver disease. By promoting increased urination, Hydrochlorothiazide helps in managing hypertension or high blood pressure by releasing the tension in the walls of the blood vessels. It may also be prescribed for patients with eye conditions, like glaucoma, to reduce excessive pressure in the eyes. This medication is available as tablets in different strengths, which should be taken as directed by a healthcare professional.
