Overview
Hydrochlorothiazide 25mg is a thiazide diuretic, often called a "water tablet". It is a prescription medicine used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension) and to reduce fluid build-up (oedema) caused by conditions such as heart failure, or kidney or liver problems. It works by helping the kidneys remove excess salt and water from the body through the urine, which lowers blood pressure and relieves swelling. Controlling high blood pressure helps reduce the long-term risk of stroke, heart attack and kidney damage. It is often used alongside other blood pressure medicines.

Directions for Use
This is a prescription medicine. Take only as directed by your doctor or pharmacist. It is usually taken once a day in the morning, swallowed with water, with or without food. Taking it in the morning helps avoid needing to pass urine during the night. Take it at the same time each day, and do not stop taking it suddenly even if you feel well.
Tell your doctor if you have kidney or liver problems, gout, diabetes, lupus, or low or high levels of salts such as potassium or sodium. It can affect these salt levels, so blood tests may be needed, and it may raise blood sugar and uric acid. It can cause dizziness, especially with the first dose or in hot weather. Rise slowly and stay hydrated. It may increase sensitivity to sunlight, so use sun protection. Avoid in pregnancy unless advised. Tell your doctor about other medicines, including other blood-pressure tablets. Store below 25°C.
