Hydrex Tablets 25mg (Hydrochlorothiazide)

Hydrex Tablets contain hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ), a thiazide diuretic used to manage high blood pressure (hypertension) and fluid retention (edema). It works by increasing urine production, which helps the body eliminate excess salt and water. This reduces blood pressure and alleviates swelling associated with conditions like heart failure or kidney disease.
