Corbis H 5 Tablet

Corbis H 5 Tablet, made by Efroze Chemical Industries (PVT.) Ltd, is a thiazide diuretic (water tablet). Its active ingredient is Hydrochlorothiazide, and it is used for high blood pressure, fluid retention and oedema in heart failure. Pack size: 14 tablets.

Uses of Corbis H 5 Tablet

Corbis H 5 Tablet is used to lower high blood pressure, either on its own or, very commonly, combined in one tablet with other blood pressure medicines such as losartan, valsartan or bisoprolol. It is also used to reduce swelling caused by fluid retention, including oedema linked to heart failure. Keeping blood pressure under control lowers the long-term risk of stroke, heart attack and kidney damage.

How Corbis H 5 Tablet works

Hydrochlorothiazide is a water tablet that acts on the kidneys, making them pass more salt and water into the urine. This reduces the amount of fluid in the blood vessels, which lowers blood pressure and eases swelling. Over time it also helps blood vessel walls relax slightly.

Possible side effects

Corbis H 5 Tablet suits most people well, though some notice side effects, especially early on. These may include:

• Needing to pass urine more often
• Dizziness on standing
• Low potassium or sodium levels
• Raised blood sugar or uric acid
• Increased sensitivity to sunlight

Get medical help urgently for sudden eye pain or blurred vision, severe weakness or muscle cramps, confusion, fainting, or a severe skin reaction.

Precautions and warnings

• Tell your doctor if you have gout, diabetes, kidney or liver disease, or low sodium or potassium levels.
• Your doctor may arrange blood tests to check your salts, kidney function and blood sugar.
• Taking it earlier in the day helps avoid getting up at night to pass urine.
• Long-term use has been linked to a higher risk of some non-melanoma skin cancers, so protect your skin from the sun and report any new or changing skin patches.
• Tell your doctor about other medicines, especially lithium, digoxin and anti-inflammatory painkillers, and speak to them before use if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.

Storage

Store below 30°C in a dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Keep it in the original pack until use. Keep all medicines out of the reach of children.
