A: Hydrochlorothiazide, also known as HCTZ, is a diuretic used for blood pressure and edema or swelling. HCTZ can cause an increase in urination and also deplete potassium out of the body. It is important for a physician to regularly perform blood tests to check the potassium levels.
HCTZ is approved to treat water retention (edema) when used along with other medications, including other congestive heart failure medications. HCTZ does not cure congestive heart failure or other conditions that cause the body to retain fluid. HCTZ is a diuretic, which is commonly referred to as a water pill.. It works by increasing the amount of salt and water that the kidneys remove from the blood.
