Hydroflumethiazide is an oral diuretic (water pill) used to treat high blood pressure and fluid retention caused by various conditions, including heart disease. It is also used to treat edema (swelling) associated with kidney, liver, or heart failure. Hydroflumethiazide works by blocking the absorption of salt and fluid in the kidneys, causing the body to lose excess salt and water. This can help reduce blood pressure and reduce swelling.
