Microzide, hydrochlorothiazideChemical Nameshydrochlorothiazide Ingredients Active Ingredients: hydrochlorothiazide Non-Active Ingredients: colloidal silicon dioxide, corn starch, lactose monohydrate, magnesium stearate.

The capsules are printed with edible ink containing black iron oxide, D&C Yellow #10, FD&C Blue #1, FD&C Blue #2, FD&C Red #40. Indications Microzide is indicated in the treatment of hypertension. How It Works Hydrochlorothiazide belongs to the thiazide class of diuretics. By impairing Na transport in the distal convoluted tubule, hydrochlorothiazide induces a natriuresis and concomitant water loss. Thiazides increase the reabsorption of calcium in this segment in a manner unrelated to sodium transport. In short, thiazides increase the amount of urine you produce by absorbing water from the blood, decreasing the overall volume of the blood, and thus its pressure.

Generally, a single dose taken early in the day (so as not to promote frequent nighttime urination) is standard. Daily doses should not exceed 50 mg.
