Description Drug

Thiazide or thiazide-like diuretics are commonly using to treat high blood pressure - hypertension. High blood pressure adds to the workload of the heart and arteries. If it continues for a long time, the heart and arteries may not function properly. This can damage the blood vessels of the brain, heart, and kidneys, resulting in a stroke, heart failure, or kidney failure. High blood pressure may also increase the risk of heart attacks. These problems may be less likely to occur if blood pressure is controlled.

Thiazide diuretics are also using to help reduce the amount of water in the body by increasing the flow of urine. They may also be using for other conditions as determined by your family doctor.
