Hydrochlorothiazide - thiazide diuretic. Impairs the reabsorption of sodium ions, chlorine and water in the distal nephron tubules. Increases the excretion of potassium, magnesium, bicarbonate ions; detains calcium in the body. The diuretic effect occurs after 2 hours, reaches a maximum after 4 hours and lasts up to 12 hours. Helps reduce high blood pressure. In addition, it reduces polyuria in patients with diabetes insipidus (the mechanism of action is not fully understood). In some cases, lowers intraocular pressure in glaucoma.
Arterial hypertension (monotherapy or in combination with other antihypertensive drugs), edematous syndrome of various genesis (chronic heart failure, nephrotic syndrome, premenstrual syndrome, acute glomerulonephritis, chronic renal failure, portal hypertension, treatment with corticosteroids), polyuria control (mainly in nephrogenic cases, polymoris). ), prevention of the formation of stones in the urogenital tract in susceptible patients (reduction of hypercalciuria).

Electrolyte imbalance
Hypokalemia, hypomagnesemia, hypercalcemia and hypochloremic alkalosis: dry mouth, thirst, irregular heart rhythm, changes in mood or psyche, cramps and muscle pain, nausea, vomiting, unusual tiredness or weakness. Hypochloremic alkalosis can cause hepatic encephalopathy or hepatic coma.
Hyponatremia: confusion, convulsions, lethargy, slow thinking, fatigue, irritability, muscle cramps.
Metabolic phenomena: hyperglycemia, glucosuria, hyperuricemia with the development of a gout attack. Treatment with thiazides may decrease glucose tolerance, and latent diabetes mellitus can manifest. When high doses are used, serum lipid levels may increase.
On the part of the digestive tract: cholecystitis or pancreatitis, cholestatic jaundice, diarrhea, sialadenitis, constipation, anorexia.
Since the cardiovascular system and blood (hematopoiesis, hemostasis): arrhythmias, orthostatic hypotension, vasculitis; very rarely - leukopenia, agranulocytosis, thrombocytopenia, hemolytic anemia, aplastic anemia.
From the nervous system and sense organs: dizziness, blurred vision (temporarily), headache, paresthesias.
Hypersensitivity Reactions: urticaria, purpura, necrotizing vasculitis, Stevens-Johnson syndrome, respiratory distress syndrome (including pneumonitis and non-cardiogenic pulmonary edema), photosensitivity, anaphylactic reactions up to shock.
Other: reduced potency, impaired renal function, interstitial nephritis.
Hypersensitivity (including to other sulfonamides), anuria, severe renal (Cl creatinine - less than 30 ml / min) or liver failure, poorly controlled diabetes, Addison's disease, gout, children (up to 3 years).
With the simultaneous use of antihypertensive drugs, non-depolarizing muscle relaxants, their action is enhanced.
With the simultaneous use of barbiturates, diazepam, ethanol increases the risk of orthostatic hypotension.
With simultaneous use with GCS, there is a risk of hypokalemia and also orthostatic hypotension.
With simultaneous use with ACE inhibitors (including captopril, enalapril), the antihypertensive effect is enhanced.
Possible marked arterial hypotension, especially after taking the first dose of hydrochlorothiazide, apparently due to hypovolemia, which leads to a transient increase in the hypotensive effect of the ACE inhibitor.
The risk of renal dysfunction increases. The development of hypokalemia is not excluded.
With simultaneous use of oral hypoglycemic drugs reduces their effectiveness.
With the simultaneous use of calcium and / or vitamin D in high doses, hypercalcemia and the risk of metabolic acidosis are possible due to the slowing down of calcium in the urine under the influence of thiazide diuretics.
With simultaneous use with allopurinol increases the risk of allergic reactions, especially in patients with impaired renal function.
With simultaneous use with digoxin may increase the risk of glycosidic intoxication.
With simultaneous use with indomethacin, piroxicam, naproxen, phenylbutazone, some decrease in the hypotensive effect is possible.
With simultaneous use with irbesartan, an additive hypotensive effect may develop.
With simultaneous use with carbamazepine, there are reports of the development of hyponatremia.
With simultaneous use with colestipol, colestiramine decreases the absorption and diuretic effect of hydrochlorothiazide.
With simultaneous use of lithium carbonate, it is possible to increase the concentration of lithium salts in the blood to a toxic level.
With simultaneous use with orlistat decreases the effectiveness of hydrochlorothiazide, which can lead to a significant increase in blood pressure and the development of hypertensive crisis.
With simultaneous use with sotalol possible hypokalemia and the development of ventricular arrhythmias of the "pirouette" type.
At the time of treatment should stop breastfeeding.
It is used with caution in patients with gout and diabetes.
In patients with renal insufficiency, systematic monitoring of plasma electrolyte concentration and CC is necessary.
With the appearance of signs of potassium deficiency, as well as the simultaneous use of cardiac glycosides, GCS and ACTH, administration of potassium or potassium-saving diuretics is indicated.
With prolonged use should follow a diet rich in potassium.
The simultaneous use of diuretics with NSAIDs is not recommended.
