Iproclozide is a prescription medication used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension) and to protect the kidneys in people with diabetes. It is a combination of two drugs, clozapine and hydrochlorothiazide. Hydrochlorothiazide is a diuretic that helps the body get rid of extra water and salt, reducing the amount of fluid in the body. Clozapine is an antipsychotic that helps to reduce blood pressure by blocking certain receptors in the brain. Iproclozide is typically taken once a day with food.
Iproclozide is a medication that was previously used as an antidepressant, but it has since been discontinued due to its dangerous side effects.
