What does it do?

Zipamide is a medication that belongs to the diuretic class, primarily used for the treatment of hypertension or edema. It helps lower blood pressure and relieve edema by reducing unnecessary water and salt accumulation in the body.

Zipamide inhibits the reabsorption of sodium and water in the kidneys, allowing more water and salt to be excreted in urine. This leads to a decrease in blood volume, lowering blood pressure and reducing swelling in the body.
