Effects - How it works in the body
Viskazide belongs to the family of combination of two drugs thiazide diuretic known as a water pill (diuretic), Hydrochlorothiazide and Beta blocking agent Pindolol and commonly used for the treatment or prevention of the symptoms of high blood pressure or hypertension. Viskazide works by relaxing your blood vessels so your heart doesn't have to pump as hard and preventing the kidney from reabsorbing (retaining in the body) salt and water that is destined to be eliminated in the urine. Thiazide diuretics (water pill) act in the kidney to remove water from the blood into the urine, by causing an increase in the removal of salts such as potassium and sodium from the blood. Removing water from the blood decreases the volume of fluid circulating through the blood vessels. This drop in fluid volume results in a drop in the pressure of the fluid within the blood vessels, which helps to lower high blood pressure. Viskazide also decreases the effort required by the heart to pump blood around the body. There are many conditions which may lead to an accumulation of fluid in the body. Viskazide is commonly used in conditions such as heart failure, where the pumping mechanism of the heart is less effective. Viskazide is used to relieve the symptoms of heart failure, as the shortness of breath seen with fluid on the lungs.
