Patient summary
Utilized to support the reduction of high blood pressure and developed to manage fluid retention effectively.
Mechanism of action
Diuretics help the kidneys remove excess salt and water from the body through urination. This decreases the total fluid volume in the bloodstream, lowers the pressure inside blood vessels, and helps the heart pump more efficiently, thereby managing high blood pressure and reducing swelling caused by fluid accumulation.
Pregnancy and breastfeeding
Pregnancy: Use only if the therapeutic benefit outweighs the potential risk. Breastfeeding: Hydrochlorothiazide is excreted in breast milk; caution is advised.
