Captopril-hydrochlorothiazide

Drug Details

This medication is prescribed for managing high blood pressure, or hypertension. By lowering high blood pressure, it helps reduce the risk of strokes, heart attacks, and kidney issues. The product is a combination of two drugs: captopril and hydrochlorothiazide. Captopril is an ACE inhibitor that helps relax blood vessels, allowing blood to flow more smoothly. Hydrochlorothiazide is a diuretic, or "water pill," which aids in eliminating excess salt and water from the body by increasing urine production.
