Teva Hydrochlorothiazide How to Take

Hydrochlorothiazide belongs to the group of medications called diuretics. It is also an antihypertensive. It is used to decrease fluid retention (edema) caused by Congestive Heart Failure, certain kidney or liver problems, and medications such as corticosteroids (e.g., Prednisone) and estrogen. It is also used to lower high blood pressure and treat toxemia (suddenly occurring high blood pressure and fluid retention) in pregnancy. Hydrochlorothiazide works by making the body lose excess water and salt.

Teva Hydrochlorothiazide may be available under multiple brand names and/or in several different forms. Any specific brand name of Teva Hydrochlorothiazide may not be available in all of the forms or approved for all of the conditions discussed here.

For infants and children, the dose is based on body weight and is given in 2 divided doses.

When treating toxemia of pregnancy, the recommended dose is usually 100 mg taken every day; however doses may range from 100 mg every day to 100 mg every 4 days. If needed, the dose may be increased to 200 mg daily for severe toxemia given in 2 divided doses and for short periods of time.

For the treatment of high blood pressure, the usual recommended adult dose of hydrochlorothiazide is 12.5 mg to 50 mg daily.

Diabetes: Hydrochlorothiazide may make it more difficult for people with diabetes to control their blood sugar. If you have diabetes, discuss with your doctor how Teva Hydrochlorothiazide may affect your medical condition, how your medical condition may affect the dosing and effectiveness of Teva Hydrochlorothiazide, and whether any special monitoring is needed.

Fluid and electrolyte balance: The levels of electrolytes such as potassium, sodium, magnesium, and chloride can be reduced with hydrochlorothiazide. Your doctor will monitor your electrolyte levels with blood tests while you are taking Teva Hydrochlorothiazide. Warning signs or symptoms of fluid and electrolyte imbalance include:

  • confusion
  • drowsiness
  • Dry Mouth
  • Low Blood Pressure
  • muscle pains or cramps
  • muscular fatigue
  • nausea and vomiting
  • racing heartbeat
  • restlessness
  • seizures
  • thirst
  • unusual tiredness
  • weakness

If you experience any of these symptoms, contact your doctor. To prevent low potassium levels, eat foods that are high in potassium (e.g., bananas, dried figs, dates, prunes, nuts). If your potassium level is low, your doctor may suggest a potassium supplement.

Glaucoma: Teva Hydrochlorothiazide may cause the symptoms of glaucoma (increased pressure in the eye) to become worse. If you have glaucoma, discuss with your doctor how Teva Hydrochlorothiazide may affect your medical condition, how your medical condition may affect the dosing and effectiveness of Teva Hydrochlorothiazide, and whether any special monitoring is needed. Report any changes in vision to your doctor as soon as possible while you are taking Teva Hydrochlorothiazide.
