Hidroklortiazid, like all thiazide diuretics, increases urinary excretion of sodium and potassium in about equal amounts. As other effects can be mentioned: excretion of potassium and hydrogencarbonate ions, decrease of the excretion of calcium and uric acid retention. In maximum therapeutic doses, all thiazide diuretics are almost equal in concern of diuretic action. The exact mechanism of Hidroklortiazid is still not clear. The site of action of the drug is the peripheral renal tubule and ascendent part of the loop Henle. The drug inhibits the
carboanhydrase enzyme thus affecting the transfer of hydrogencarbonates in the kidney. It does not exert any influence on normal arterial pressure. The antihypertensive effect in the initial stage is related to the reduction of extracellular fluid volume. Several days are needed for the antihypertensive effect. To achieve the optimal therapeutic effect are required 2 - 4 weeks.
Hidroklortiazid - tablets are used:
• to treat edema;
• in congestive heart failure, kidney disease, such as nephrotic syndrome;
• in liver cirrhosis;
• to treat hypertension, alone or in combination with other antihypertensive drugs.

Adrenaline is an endogenous substance that is produced in the adrenal medulla and has important physiological effects. It is a potent agonist at both alpha and beta adrenoceptors, although the effect on beta adrenoceptors is more marked, particularly at lower doses.
The major effects of adrenaline are dose-related and include:
dilatation of the bronchi, narrowing of blood vessels, increased heart rate and contractility (positive chronotropic and inotropic effect) and stimulation at central level. Adrenaline is a histamine antagonist. It is used for the treatment of life emergencies.
Adrenaline is used in acute allergic reactions and anaphylactic shock.
It is also used in advanced cardiac life support.
