Q&A about Hydrochlorothiazide
How could hydrochlorothiazide help in the treatment of a hydrocele?
I was told by a doctor that hydrochlorothiazide could help reduce the amount of fluid collected in a hydrocele. Is this true? How would this work? Can anyone provide some information on this as it appears hydrochlorothiazide is used to reduce the amount of water the kidneys can collect. I don't see how this could help with a hydrocele?

The mechanism of action for HCTZ like the other responder said is diuresis. Technically speaking, it decreases the amount of sodium that your kidneys reabsorb, thus causing increased urination. This can be to one's advantage for patients with hypertension which is why thiazides are first line for hypertension. However, I've never seen my attendings or residents prescribe HCTZ for a hydrocele. This is because the cause of the hydrocele will not be fixed by the medication. The way to fix the hydrocele is to correct the underlying problem

Is it okay to do it if I drink mass amounts of water?
Adderall (amphetamine and dextroamphetamine) affects the blood pressure. Hydrochlorothiazide, a diuretic, removes extra water from the body in order to maintain the blood pressure within the parameters set by your physician.
If you have moderate to severe high blood pressure, please point your medications and your condition to your doctor. It is not recommended to drink extra fluid because it will simply make the hydrochlorothiazide's dose ineffective; plus ingesting extra fluid might cause hypertension due to your body's condition and may strain the heart.

I am almost eight weeks pregnant. Is it safe to continue on hydrochlorothiazide?
I've been on blood pressure medication for ten months now. My OB said that it was okay to take it. Just want to know if anyone else has been in a similar situation.

Only trust your doctor for this. However, I, too was taking hydrochlorothiazide when I found out I was pregnant. Mine was an unexpected pregnancy and I conceived when I was taking birth control pills (for 11 years!). I had been taking migraine medication along with the blood pressure meds and the Pill. When it was discovered I was pregnant, my doctor chose to take me off all medications until we did some tests. I was already 17 weeks along, 38 years old, and developed Gestational Diabetes so I was closely monitored. My blood pressure remained only slightly elevated throughout my pregnancy. I had to switch doctors and go to the high risk diabetic clinic. That team of health care professionals opted not to put me back on the blood pressure medication. Each patient and each doctor is different so only trust your doctor for sure. Basically, hydrochlorothiazide is a diuretic so probably is not generally harmful to the baby while high blood pressure can be dangerous to both mom and baby. I took only a minimal dose of 25 mg.
How much water weight should I expect to lose from taking Hydrochlorothiazide?
Honestly, with the right dose and strength, you could turn someone into a prune or severely dehydrate someone. The weight loss is directly associated with the excess fluid in your body, that is the goal of medical management (to reduce volume/preload)

Can Hydrochlorothiazide cause Bradycardia?
I've been taking Hydrochlorthiazide to reduce my blood pressure and my pulse is 55 in the morning after I have been walking around the house........ know because I take my blood pressure.
After doing my walk is was 68. Isn't that a bit low for someone who is 50 pounds overweight and not that fit?

Hydrochlorothiazide is unlikely to cause Bradycardia
Does drug called Hydrochlorothiazide cause Erectile dyfunction in men, a drug for blood presure control ?
There are a number of blood pressure medications that can create problems with men's sex drive and the ability to achieve erections. They can also interfere with the female sex drive. I don't know about this particular one, but if you're concerned, you need to talk to your doctor about it.
