Hydrochlorothiazide

Hydrochlorothiazide is a diuretic medication, also known as a water pill, which is used to treat various conditions related to fluid retention and high blood pressure. It works by promoting the excretion of excess fluid and salt from the body, thereby reducing the volume of blood and lowering blood pressure. This medication is often prescribed for individuals with hypertension, congestive heart failure, or edema, a condition characterized by swelling due to fluid accumulation. Hydrochlorothiazide is typically administered orally and may be prescribed alone or in combination with other medications to manage the specific needs of each patient. Follow the doctor’s instructions and maintain regular check-ups to ensure the proper management of the underlying condition.
