Hypothiazid
Hypothiazide, containing the active ingredient Hydrochlorothiazide, is a widely used diuretic medication. It helps manage high blood pressure effectively by promoting the elimination of excess fluid and salt from the body. This reduces the workload on the heart and arteries, contributing to better cardiovascular health. Hypothiazide is also beneficial in treating fluid retention (edema) associated with heart failure, liver cirrhosis, and kidney disorders. It is typically administered as a once-daily tablet, allowing for convenient dosing. Regular use as prescribed can help maintain optimal blood pressure levels and reduce the risk of complications. Ideal for patients seeking an effective solution for hypertension and fluid balance management.Active substance:
