However, the mineralocorticoid activity is reduced. The anti-inflammatory effect is the primary action which is obtained by stabilisation of cell membranes, maintain the micro circulation of the inflamed zone and prevention of oedema, while preserving normal cell permeability. Hydrochlorothiazide is a diuretic acting by inhibition of sodium resorption. An increase in water occurs, facilitating oedema resorption, it also eliminates chloride ions.
