CALCIFEDIOLVitamin D is essential to many body systems, including bone structure, regulation of blood calcium levels, and heart and muscle contraction. Since vitamin D is activated in the kidneys, patients with chronic (long-term) kidney failure are unable to produce enough active vitamin D on their own. Calcifediol is one of the active forms of vitamin D. This medication is used to treat bone disease and hypocalcemia (low blood calcium levels) in patients on dialysis. |

CAPTOPRIL AND HYDROCHLOROTHIAZIDE COMBINATIONCaptopril and hydrochlorothiazide combination is used to treat high blood pressure. Captopril is a vasodilator (it widens the blood vessels) that acts by blocking the production of chemicals that may be responsible for constricting blood vessels. Hydrochlorothiazide is a diuretic (water pill), which reduces body fluid accumulation by increasing the elimination of salt and water through the kidneys. |
