About hydrochlorothiazide
Hydrochlorothiazide is considered a thiazide diuretic (water pill), which helps your body get rid of extra fluid and water by increasing urination.
Hydrochlorothiazide is used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension) and fluid retention (edema). Hydrochlorothiazide is available only by prescription. It is available in a generic formulation as well as under different brand names, including Microzide.
Hydrochlorothiazide may be prescribed as a tablet, oral capsule, or liquid suspension. It’s always important to follow the specific instructions on your prescription, as they can vary based on the formulation and dosage prescribed.
If you're prescribed hydrochlorothiazide, be sure to complete the full course of the thiazide diuretic unless your doctor specifically tells you to stop. If you don’t complete your prescription, the thiazide diuretics may not fully treat your high blood pressure or fluid retention.
Hydrochlorothiazide uses

High blood pressure
