Hydrodiuril (Hydrochlorothiazide)

Hydrodiuril Information:

Hydrodiuril (generic name: Hydrochlorothiazide) is a drug which is prescribed for the treatment of high blood pressure, also known as hypertension. It differs from Micardis because it contains HCT, which Micardis does not. It is also used to treat fluid retention, also known as edema, in patients with congestive heart failure, cirrhosis of the liver, kidney disorders or edema caused by taking steroids or estrogens. The active ingredient is Hydrochlorothiazide. Hydrochlorothiazide is a diuretic water pill that helps to prevent your body from absorbing too much salt, which can cause fluid retention. In patients with high blood pressure (hypertension), the blood vessels become restricted which increases blood pressure. This puts a strain on the heart by increasing its need for oxygen, which can be fatal and can lead to heart disease. Many patients with hypertension do not have any symptoms at all, which is why it has been dubbed “the silent killer”, it is therefore recommended that after age 60 you have your blood pressure checked on a regular basis – at least once every 6 months. Some people may experience symptoms such as dizziness and feelings of nausea. Hypertension is more common in women than men and the risk increases with age. Hypertension increases the risk of heart disease, angina, stroke and blood clots.
