What is Hydrochlorothiazide?

Hydrochlorothiazide is an FDA-approved generic prescription medication used to treat high blood pressure. It may also be used to treat swelling due to certain medical conditions or medication. Hydrochlorothiazide is a member of a class of drugs known as diuretics or water pills. It works by causing your body to make more urine. This helps in getting rid of extra salt and water from your body.

Hydrochlorothiazide comes in the form of an oral tablet or capsule and is usually taken once daily in the morning with or without food. Taking this medication before bedtime may cause you to wake up during the night to urinate, so it is usually recommended that you take this medication in the morning. Your doctor can advise you on the best time to take it and will prescribe an appropriate dose for you.

This medication should be used as prescribed in order to maximize its effectiveness. Continue using this medication even if you feel well. Most patients with high blood pressure usually do not feel sick. Do not take this medication in doses that are higher or lower than what was prescribed by your doctor.

What are the side effects of Hydrochlorothiazide?

Hydrochlorothiazide may lead to side effects such as an upset stomach, headaches, weakness, or dizziness. These effects may occur when you first start using this medication but usually go away as your body becomes accustomed to treatment. Talk to your doctor or pharmacist if you experience any of these effects and they persist or worsen.

Your doctor may also give you dietary instructions such as eating a low-salt diet, and/or taking potassium supplements, or increasing your intake of potassium-rich foods like bananas and orange juice. Follow these instructions while taking Hydrochlorothiazide.
