Hyros 25 mg Tablet

Hyros 25 mg Tablet contains hydrocholorothiazide 25 mg in each tablet. It is a thiazide diuretic, also called a “water pill,” used to help lower high blood pressure and to reduce swelling (edema) caused by conditions such as heart, kidney, or liver disease. Hyros 25 mg Tablet works by helping your body remove extra salt and water through urine. This can make it an important medicine for people who need a stronger tablet dose chosen by a doctor.

How it works: Hydrochlorothiazide in Hyros 25 mg Tablet helps your kidneys get rid of extra salt and water, which lowers the amount of fluid in your bloodstream. As the fluid amount drops, blood pressure can come down and swelling can ease.

Hyros 25 mg Tablet is a higher-strength hydrochlorothiazide tablet and is generally used when a doctor decides that 25 mg is the right amount for blood pressure or fluid control. Compared with lower strengths, Hyros 25 mg Tablet may produce a more noticeable diuretic effect, so it is often selected for people who have already been assessed and need this exact dose rather than a smaller one.

Each Hyros 25 mg Tablet provides 25 mg of hydrochlorothiazide.
