This fixed combination drug is not indicated for the initial therapy of edema or hypertension except in individuals in whom the development of hypokalemia cannot be risked.

The hydrochlorothiazide component blocks the reabsorption of sodium
and chloride ions, and thereby
increases the quantity of sodium traversing the distal tubule and the
volume of water e
