MONOZIDE 25MG 30TABS

Monozide, 25 Mg - 30 Tablets


Scientific Name
Hydrochlorothiazide 25 Mg Tablets


Category Of Monozide 25 Mg Tablets
Anti-Hypertensive Drugs


Mechanism Of Action Of Hydrochlorothiazide
Hydrochlorothiazide inhibits sodium chloride transport in the distal convoluted tubule. More sodium is then excreted in the kidney with accompanying fluid.
Thus it increases urine excretion, which by turn decreases blood volume and finally blood pressure.
On long-term usage, thiazide diuretic (TZD)-mediated chronic reduction of arterial pressure is thought to occur through decreased total peripheral vascular resistance.
