Hydrochlorothiazide is a thiazide diuretic most commonly used to help manage high blood pressure or rid the body of excess fluid in edema. Less commonly patients buy Hydrochlorothiazide to reduce risk of kidney stones, treat diabetes insipidus, decrease mineral loss in osteoporosis, and other applications.

Thiazide and loop diuretics are often preferred for patients attempting to lower blood pressure or alleviate edema; in fact patients are often given a prescription to buy Hydrochlorothiazide as a first-line treatment. Note that it is not a potassium-sparing diuretic; individuals with low potassium levels may want to supplement potassium or seek other products.

It's possible to buy Hydrochlorothiazide under a wide range of names, and it's also available in combination products with other medications, which can be browsed here. Other medications are commonly taken along with Hydrochlorothiazide and may influence dosage.

Treating Hypertension

Hydrochlorothiazide lowers blood pressure by reducing overall blood volume. It does this by inhibiting salt reabsorption in the kidneys, which in turn reduces the retention of water in the blood and elsewhere in the body. The reduced volume of blood is easier for the heart to pump, reducing the heart's workload.

Hydrochlorothiazide is also thought to reduce vascular resistance, though how and to what degree it does so is less clear.

Tablets are taken once or twice per day in most cases, with or without food as desired. Hydrochlorothiazide may be able to lower blood pressure down to desired levels on its own; if not, another type of medication---such as a beta-blocker or angiotensin receptor blocker---will be prescribed to take along with it.

Treatment is usually as follows:

• Start with 25 mg once per day.
• If 25 mg proves insufficient after several weeks of use, dosage may be increased to 50 mg per day, taken once daily or divided into two doses.
• If 50 mg proves insufficient, there will likely be greater benefit from adding a second antihypertensive medication rather than further increase Hydrochlorothiazide dosage.

Some patients may notice improvements within days of starting use, but in most cases it will take several weeks for full benefit from Hydrochlorothiazide to be seen. Dosage adjustments are usually made after at least two, preferably three, weeks of treatment.

Treatment may continue for as long as it provides benefit; unless lifestyle changes are made, and are sufficient to address hypertension on their own, patients will probably need to buy Hydrochlorothiazide for the remainder of life.

Treating Edema

The second-most common reason patients buy Hydrochlorothiazide is to treat edema, common in congestive heart failure, liver or kidney disease, steroid or hormone use, and other causes. The medication inhibits salt reabsorption in the kidneys, which is then expelled in urine. Salt encourages water retention, so less salt means more fluid is expelled.

Edema treatment is more variable than when hydrochlorothiazide is used for hypertension; it should be customized according to the condition being treated and other medications, as well as patient response:

• Standard dosing starts with 25 mg once per day.
• If 25 mg proves insufficient, dosage may be incrementally increased to 50, 75, or 100 mg per day, taken once daily or divided into two doses.
• Some patients take doses every two or three days, rather than daily.
• With larger doses of 75 or 100 mg, some patients take a dose once every five days.

Some results should be noticeable in the first week or two of treatment, though it may take longer for full benefit to be seen. This depends to some extent on the cause of the edema.

Regular checkups are strongly recommended, particularly at the start of treatment, to ensure the medication is working properly and to monitor for developing complications.
