Дехидразид

Дехидразид (hydrochlorothiazide) is a thiazide diuretic used to manage fluid retention and high blood pressure. It helps the kidneys remove excess water and sodium from the body. This oral medication is commonly prescribed for edema and hypertension management.

Hydrochlorothiazide is primarily used to treat fluid retention (edema) caused by conditions like heart failure or kidney disorders. It is also prescribed to lower high blood pressure (hypertension) by reducing blood volume. This medication helps manage symptoms associated with excess fluid buildup in the body.

Hydrochlorothiazide increases urine output, which may lead to more frequent urination during the first few weeks of use. Some users may experience increased thirst or dry mouth as the body adjusts. These effects are generally temporary and part of the medication's intended action.

Store hydrochlorothiazide at room temperature away from moisture and heat. Keep the medication in its original packaging and out of reach of children. If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember unless it is almost time for the next dose. Do not double up to compensate.

Hydrochlorothiazide may interact with other diuretics, blood pressure medications, or lithium. Alcohol and certain supplements like potassium can also affect how this medication works. Always inform your healthcare provider about all medications and supplements you are taking.
