Medicine Description chartoreg 80mg
Chartoreg 80mg Tablets is a medication that contains hydrochlorothiazide, a thiazide diuretic. It operates primarily by inhibiting sodium reabsorption at the distal convoluted tubule in the kidneys, leading to increased excretion of sodium and water. This diuretic effect results in a reduction of blood volume, which subsequently lowers blood pressure. By decreasing blood volume and relaxing blood vessels, hydrochlorothiazide aids in managing hypertension and can reduce the workload on the heart.
