A: Hydrochlorothiazide, also known as HCTZ, is a diuretic used for blood pressure and edema or swelling. HCTZ can cause an increase in urination and also deplete potassium out of the body. It is important for a physician to regularly perform blood tests to check the potassium levels.
Diuretics affect the reabsorption of sodium and water from the tubules and thus, the amount of sodium and water retained or eliminated by the body. In addition to controlling sodium, the kidney also controls the amount of potassium that is retained or eliminated from the body. Diuretics eliminate salt (sodium) and water from the body. Hydrochlorothiazide is a diuretic that can be used alone for treating high blood pressure and edema. It works by blocking sodium and water reabsorption in the kidneys, thereby reducing sodium and water in the body.
