Treatment of high blood pressure (hypertension), Treatment of fluid retention/edema associated with heart failure, liver disease or kidney disorders
How It Works
Hydrochlorothiazide is a thiazide diuretic (water pill). It works by increasing the excretion of sodium and water from the kidneys, which reduces fluid overload and lowers blood pressure. It may also reduce peripheral vascular resistance over time.
Directions for Use
Take as directed by your doctor, usually once daily (preferably in the morning). It may be taken with or without food; taking it earlier in the day helps avoid nighttime urination. Do not stop abruptly without medical advice; monitor blood pressure and electrolytes as advised.
May cause electrolyte imbalance (low potassium/sodium/magnesium) and dehydration; periodic blood tests may be needed. Use with caution in kidney or liver disease, diabetes, gout/hyperuricemia, and in elderly patients. Can cause dizziness—avoid driving if affected. May increase sensitivity to sunlight; use sunscreen. Seek medical help for severe rash, fainting, muscle cramps, irregular heartbeat, or markedly reduced urination.
Drug Interactions
Lithium (increased toxicity), NSAIDs (reduced antihypertensive/diuretic effect, kidney risk), other antihypertensives (additive BP lowering), corticosteroids/amphotericin B (increased hypokalemia), digoxin (arrhythmia risk with low potassium), antidiabetic medicines/insulin (may alter glucose control), cholestyramine/colestipol (reduced absorption), alcohol (increased dizziness)
