Mylan's Hydrochlorothiazide

Hydrochlorothiazide is a rather long name. The drug is better known under various brand names that include Apo-Hydro, Aquazide H, Dichlotride, Esidrex, Hydrodiuril, HydroSaluric, Microzide, and Oretic. But when we speak of Mylan generics, we more commonly use the medication index - e.g. Mylan 810. Mylan's 12.5 mg capsules with hydrochlorothiazide have these letters and numbers imprinted on them. The medictaion is used to to treat high blood pressure and swelling caused by fluid retention or edema (extra liquid in the body) in patients suffering from congestive heart failure, cirrhosis of the liver, or kidney disorders. So, it is a diuretic which can be used for the treatment of hypertension.
