HTZ Tablet 25 mg contains Hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ), a thiazide diuretic commonly used for managing hypertension (high blood pressure) and fluid retention (edema) associated with various medical conditions. Hydrochlorothiazide acts on the distal convoluted tubules of the kidneys to inhibit sodium and chloride reabsorption, promoting increased urine output. This diuretic effect helps reduce excess fluid in the body and lowers blood pressure, easing the workload on the heart and blood vessels.

HTZ Tablet 25 mg is frequently prescribed as a monotherapy or in combination with other antihypertensive agents to achieve optimal blood pressure control. It is also effective in managing edema caused by heart failure, liver cirrhosis, or kidney disorders. By reducing fluid retention, Hydrochlorothiazide relieves swelling in the ankles, feet, and other parts of the body, improving comfort and mobility.
