Expert advice:
Take the pill in the morning so you don't have to pee at night.
Stay well-hydrated by drinking water regularly, unless your doctor tells you not to.
Don't eat a lot of salt; instead, eat a diet low in sodium and high in potassium.
Check your blood pressure, kidney function, and electrolytes on a regular basis.
If you get muscle cramps, weakness, or an erratic heartbeat, tell your doctor. These could be signs of low potassium.
Don't drink alcohol; it can make you feel more dizzy and drop your blood pressure even more.

Going to the bathroom a lot

Upset stomach or nausea

How to use:
Follow your doctor's instructions exactly when you take HYDRAZIDE 25mg Tablet.
Take it with water, preferably in the morning with or without food.

How it works:
Hydrochlorothiazide works on the kidneys to stop the distal tubules from taking back salt and chloride.
This makes you urinate more (diuresis), which gets rid of extra salt and water, which
Lowers blood pressure
Reduces edema and too much fluid
It also lowers the amount of calcium that is released, which can help some people avoid getting kidney stones.
