What is Ser-Ap-Es

HydrochlorothiazideThe Generic name of this drug
Treatment SummaryHydrochlorothiazide is a medication used to treat swelling and high blood pressure. It is the most commonly prescribed thiazide diuretic, but its use is declining in favor of drugs such as angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors and angiotensin II receptor blockers.

Effectiveness

How Ser-Ap-Es Affects PatientsHydrochlorothiazide helps the body get rid of more water through urine. The amount of hydrochlorothiazide taken will vary from person to person, but is usually between 25-100mg. People with weakened kidney or liver function should be especially careful when taking this drug.
How Ser-Ap-Es works in the bodyHydrochlorothiazide works by preventing the reabsorption of sodium and chloride, which causes water to be excreted from the body. This drug is transported from the blood into the cells lining the distal convoluted tubule in the kidneys, and then sent to the lumen of the tubule. Normally, sodium is reabsorbed into these cells and then pumped out into the bloodstream, causing a concentration gradient that encourages water to be reabsorbed. However, by blocking this reabsorption process, hydrochlorothiazide decreases the concentration gradient and reduces the amount of water that is reabsorbed by the body.

When to interrupt dosage

The suggested dosage of Ser-Ap-Es is contingent upon the identified condition, like Antepartum magnesium sulfate prevention, inadequately regulated blood pressure with single treatment and antihypertensives. The measure of dosage fluctuates in accordance with the technique of administration (e.g. Tablet, coated - Oral or Oral) recorded in the table beneath.
