Hydrochlorothiazide (25mg)

HYCHLORZIDE 25 is a pharmaceutical product containing Hydrochlorothiazide (25mg) as its active ingredient. Hydrochlorothiazide is a widely used thiazide diuretic that helps manage high blood pressure and edema (swelling) by promoting the elimination of excess salt and water from the body. This medication plays a vital role in reducing the risk of strokes, heart attacks, and kidney problems. This article explores the uses, dosage, side effects, and other important aspects of HYCHLORZIDE 25.
