  • High blood pressure (hypertension)

  • Edema associated with heart failure
  • Liver disease or kidney disorders

Benefits of Aquazide 12.5 Tablet

In High blood pressure
Aquazide helps the kidneys pass out extra salt and water, which lowers the volume the heart has to pump and brings blood pressure down.
In Heart failure
Aquazide clears the fluid that collects in the lungs and legs when the heart is weak, so breathing is easier and the swelling in your ankles goes down.
In Fluid retention
Aquazide makes you pass more urine so that trapped fluid leaves the body, relieving swelling and the heaviness and discomfort that go with it.

How Aquazide 12.5 Tablet works

Hydrochlorothiazide is a thiazide diuretic (water pill). It works by increasing the excretion of sodium and water from the kidneys, which reduces fluid overload and lowers blood pressure. It may also reduce peripheral vascular resistance over time.

How to take Aquazide 12.5 Tablet

Take as directed by your doctor, usually once daily (preferably in the morning). It may be taken with or without food; taking it earlier in the day helps avoid nighttime urination. Do not stop abruptly without medical advice; monitor blood pressure and electrolytes as advised.

Take it exactly as your doctor prescribed. Do not change the dose or stop early on your own.
