medication that treats high blood pressure and fluid retention

Hydrochlorothiazide, often abbreviated as HCTZ, is a medication commonly used to treat high blood pressure and fluid retention (edema). It is a type of diuretic, sometimes called a "water pill," that helps the kidneys remove excess salt and water from the body, thereby reducing blood pressure and swelling.
