Hydrochlorothiazide is a thiazide diuretic used to treat high blood pressure and fluid retention caused by conditions like heart failure and kidney disorders. It works by reducing the reabsorption of sodium and chloride in the kidneys, leading to increased urine output and lower blood volume. Taken orally, HCTZ is often combined with other blood pressure medications. Common side effects include low potassium, dizziness, and increased blood sugar. It should be avoided in patients with severe kidney problems or sulfa allergies.
Hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ) works by inhibiting the sodium-chloride symporter in the distal convoluted tubule of the nephron in the kidneys. This action prevents the reabsorption of sodium (Na⁺) and chloride (Cl⁻) back into the bloodstream, causing them to be excreted in the urine along with water. As a result, it reduces blood volume, which lowers blood pressure. It also increases the excretion of potassium and bicarbonate, which can lead to side effects like hypokalemia (low potassium levels). By promoting diuresis (increased urine production), HCTZ helps reduce swelling (edema) and manage hypertension.
