About this product

Overview

Corbis H 5 tablet contains Hydrochlorothiazide as its active ingredient. Hydrochlorothiazide belongs to the class of medications known as thiazide diuretics, which are primarily used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension) and edema (fluid retention) associated with various medical conditions. It works by increasing the excretion of sodium and water from the body through the kidneys, thereby reducing fluid volume and lowering blood pressure. Corbis H 5 tablet is formulated for oral administration.

Uses

Corbis H 5 tablet is indicated for the following conditions:

  1. Hypertension: It is used as an adjunctive therapy to help lower blood pressure in patients with essential hypertension.
  2. Edema: It may be prescribed to manage edema associated with congestive heart failure, cirrhosis of the liver, and renal dysfunction.

Common side effects associated with Corbis H 5 tablet may include:

  • Increased urination
  • Electrolyte imbalances (e.g., low potassium levels)
  • Dizziness or lightheadedness
  • Headache
  • Weakness or fatigue
  • Muscle cramps
  • Increased sensitivity to sunlight
  • Upset stomach or gastrointestinal discomfort

These side effects are usually mild and transient. However, if they persist or worsen, consult a healthcare professional.

Precautions

Before taking Corbis H 5 tablet, consider the following precautions:

  • Inform your healthcare provider about any existing medical conditions, including kidney or liver disease, diabetes, gout, or allergies to sulfa drugs.
