Patient summary
Hydrochlorothiazide 12.5mg and 25mg tablets, used in the management of hypertension and oedema. A thiazide acting on the distal convoluted tubule.
Mechanism of action
Esidrix works by inhibiting the reabsorption of sodium and chloride in the distal convoluted tubules of the kidney. This increases the excretion of sodium, water, and potassium, which reduces total blood volume and thereby lowers blood pressure and relieves oedema associated with congestive heart failure.
Pregnancy and breastfeeding
Pregnancy: Not recommended due to potential neonatal side effects. Breastfeeding: Avoid as it may suppress lactation.
