There are two different forms of hydrochlorothiazide: oral tablets and oral capsules. The drug is usually taken once a day, although it may be taken several times a day. It should be taken at the same time each day to maintain an even level of hydrochlorothiazide in your blood. However, some people do not need to take it every day, especially those who are taking it for fluid retention.
Although most people tolerate this medication well, it may not be suitable for everyone. You should talk to your healthcare provider before taking hydrochlorothiazide if you have other existing medical conditions (including
diabetes or liver disease) or are taking any other medications.
