Hydrochlorothiazide is a drug used to treat high blood pressure by eliminating excess water from the body.
Hydrochlorothiazide is a first line diuretic drug of the thiazide family; it is used in hypertension treatment, congestive heart failure and symptomatic edema. It reduces sodium (Na) reabsorption in the distal convoluted tubule, inhibiting the kidney's ability to retain water.
