HYCHLORZIDE 12.5 

Hydrochlorothiazide (12.5mg)

HYCHLORZIDE 12.5 is a medication containing Hydrochlorothiazide (12.5mg), a thiazide diuretic commonly used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension) and fluid retention (edema). By helping the body get rid of excess salt and water through urine, it aids in lowering blood pressure and reducing swelling and fluid accumulation. This medication is essential in managing cardiovascular health and preventing complications such as stroke and heart attack.

Uses of HYCHLORZIDE 12.5

Hypertension Management

One of the primary uses of HYCHLORZIDE 12.5 is in the treatment of hypertension. By reducing the volume of fluid in the blood vessels, it helps to lower blood pressure, thereby reducing the risk of serious cardiovascular events.

Edema Treatment

HYCHLORZIDE 12.5 is also effective in treating edema, a condition characterized by an excess buildup of fluid in the body's tissues. This can occur due to various conditions, including heart failure, liver disease, and kidney disorders.

Prevention of Kidney Stones

Hydrochlorothiazide is sometimes used to prevent kidney stones in patients with high levels of calcium in their urine. By decreasing the amount of calcium released by the kidneys, it helps reduce the formation of calcium-based stones.

How HYCHLORZIDE 12.5 Works

Mechanism of Action

 This action leads to an increase in the excretion of sodium and chloride in the urine, which in turn causes water to follow, resulting in increased urine output. The reduction in fluid volume helps lower blood pressure and reduce edema.

Dosage and Administration

Recommended Dosage

The usual starting dose of HYCHLORZIDE 12.5 for adults is 12.5 mg once daily. Depending on the patient's response and specific medical condition, the dosage may be adjusted by the healthcare provider.

Administration Guidelines

HYCHLORZIDE 12.5 should be taken orally, preferably in the morning to avoid nighttime urination. It can be taken with or without food, but it is essential to take it consistently at the same time each day to maintain stable blood levels.
