Treatment SummaryHydrochlorothiazide is a diuretic drug used to treat fluid retention and high blood pressure. It is the most commonly prescribed thiazide diuretic, but is being replaced by angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors in many cases.

The drug was approved by the FDA in 1959.

Effectiveness

How Hyzaar Affects PatientsHydrochlorothiazide helps the body get rid of extra water by stopping the kidneys from reabsorbing sodium and water. The amount of hydrochlorothiazide taken can vary, but it is usually between 25 and 100mg. Care should be taken when taking this medication if the patient has poor kidney or liver function.
How Hyzaar works in the bodyHydrochlorothiazide is taken up into cells of the distal convoluted tubule in your kidneys, then transported to the lumen. Usually, sodium is reabsorbed into cells and pumped out, creating a concentration gradient that draws water back into the cells. Hydrochlorothiazide stops this process by blocking a specific transporter that moves sodium and chloride out of the cell. When this transporter is stopped, less water is reabsorbed, allowing it to pass through the kidneys and be removed from the body.

Hyzaar for High Blood Pressure
This medication caused me to have cramps in my feet, which I know is from a decrease in my potassium levels. Even with supplements and increased water intake, the cramping still occurred.

Hyzaar for High Blood Pressure
I've been on this medication for over a decade now, and recently I developed a dry cough and sore throat. My allergist believes it is due to the hyzaar. Has anyone else experienced this side effect?
