Hydronol 12.5 mg Tablet is used to treat high blood pressure, heart failure and oedema (a build-up of fluid in the body). It is also sometimes used to help you urinate when your kidneys aren't working properly. It contains Hydrochlorothiazide, which works by increasing the amount of urine that is passed out from the kidneys. It effectively reduces excess fluid levels in the body and treats oedema (swelling) associated with heart, liver, kidney, or lung disease. This reduces the workload on the heart and makes the heart more efficient at pumping blood throughout the body. Thus, it helps to lower high blood pressure, reducing the chances of heart attack or stroke. Sometimes, you may experience side effects such as dehydration, headache, nausea, or dizziness.

About Hydronol 12.5 mg Tablet

Hydronol 12.5 mg Tablet is used to treat high blood pressure and oedema (a build-up of fluid in the body). Diuretics are sometimes called 'water pills' because they make you urinate more. Besides this Hydronol 12.5 mg Tablet is also sometimes used to help you urinate when your kidneys aren't working properly. High blood pressure or hypertension is a chronic condition in which the force exerted by the blood against the artery wall is high.
