Answers:
HydrochlorideFrom our old friend the Wikipedia:Converting otherwise insoluble amines into their hydrochlorides is a common way to make them water and acid-soluble.

Hydro Chloride
Usually indicates hydrochloric acid.

its Hydro chloric acid.
hydro chloric acid
Hydrochloride. It means that the compound has been converted to a salt with Hydrochloric acid. This improves its absorbtion. (The acid doesn't make it more dangerous, only better absorbed)
