Polythiazide(Cat No.:R057177)is a thiazide diuretic used primarily to treat high blood pressure (hypertension) and edema (fluid retention). It works by inhibiting sodium and chloride reabsorption in the kidneys, promoting the excretion of sodium, chloride, and water, which helps reduce blood volume and lower blood pressure. As a member of the thiazide class of diuretics, polythiazide is often prescribed when other antihypertensive treatments are insufficient. It may also be used in conditions like heart failure and kidney disorders. Common side effects include electrolyte imbalances, dehydration, and dizziness.
