Chlorvix 6.25 mg Tablet 15's

Chlorvix 6.25 mg Tablet 15's belongs to a group of medicines called thiazide-related diuretics (which increase the production of urine) and is primarily used to treat high blood pressure, heart failure and oedema (a build-up of fluid in the body). Hypertension or high blood pressure is a chronic condition in which the force exerted by the blood against the artery wall is high. The higher this blood pressure, the harder the heart has to pump. As a result, it leads to heart diseases, irregular heartbeat and other complications. Oedema may occur in case of high blood pressure where fluids of the body get trapped in the tissues of the hands, arms, feet, ankles and legs, leading to its swelling.

Chlorvix 6.25 mg Tablet 15's works by increasing the amount of urine that is passed out from the kidneys. It effectively reduces excess fluid levels in the body and treats oedema (swelling) associated with heart, liver, kidney or lung disease. This reduces the workload on the heart and makes the heart more efficient at pumping blood throughout the body. Thus, it helps to lower high blood pressure, reducing the chances of heart attack or stroke.

You can take Chlorvix 6.25 mg Tablet 15's with food or without food. It should be swallowed whole with a glass of water. Do not chew, bite or break it. Your doctor will advise you on how often you take your medicine based on your medical condition. In some cases, you may experience headaches, nausea or dizziness. Most of these side effects of Chlorvix 6.25 mg Tablet 15's do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects are persistent, reach out to your doctor.

Try not to stop taking this medicine on your own as it may cause a rise in blood pressure and can increase the risk of getting heart diseases and stroke. Inform your doctor if you are suffering from any kidney or liver, or heart disease. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, please tell your doctor so that the dosage of Chlorvix 6.25 mg Tablet 15's can be prescribed accordingly. Please tell your doctor if you are taking any other medicines or are allergic to this medicine.
