Hydrochlorothiazide is a thiazide diuretic that acts in the kidney's distal convoluted tubule, where it blocks the sodium-chloride cotransporter to increase salt and water excretion. Beyond the initial fluid loss, longer-term use also relaxes blood vessels, and both effects contribute to its role in lowering blood pressure. It is used alone or combined with other antihypertensives, and for the edema of heart failure; by reducing urinary calcium it can also help prevent certain kidney stones. A sulfonamide-based small molecule (C7H8ClN3O4S2) with a half-life of about 6 to 15 hours, it is one of the most established blood-pressure medications. Its effect on ion handling can lower potassium, so electrolyte balance is watched during therapy. Hydrochlorothiazide is an approved agent widely used in hypertension management.

A thiazide diuretic that lowers blood pressure by reducing fluid volume through increased urine output and by relaxing blood vessels, widely used alone or in combination with other antihypertensives to treat high blood pressure, heart failure, and edema. It is also used to prevent kidney stones in patients with high urinary calcium. Potassium levels should be monitored as this medication can cause hypokalemia.

Primary Target
Major Hydrochlorothiazide + Lithium Carbonate

Thiazide diuretics increase lithium reabsorption in the proximal renal tubule, reliably causing lithium toxicity without dose adjustment.

Minor Hydrochlorothiazide + Lisinopril

The ACE inhibitor and thiazide combination is guideline-recommended for hypertension but can cause first-dose hypotension and metabolic disturbances including hypokalemia or hyperkalemia.

Minor Hydrochlorothiazide + Losartan

Losartan + hydrochlorothiazide is a guideline-recommended combination for hypertension; the primary interactions are additive hypotension and variable electrolyte effects.

Minor Hydrochlorothiazide + Memantine

Hydrochlorothiazide may reduce renal clearance of memantine through alkalinisation of urine, as memantine elimination is pH-dependent; the clinical impact is generally minor.

Moderate Hydrochlorothiazide + Naproxen

Naproxen reduces the diuretic and antihypertensive efficacy of thiazide diuretics, blunting blood pressure control.

Minor Hydrochlorothiazide + Gabapentin

Hydrochlorothiazide-induced sodium and fluid loss can increase the risk of dizziness and orthostatic hypotension when combined with gabapentin, which also causes dizziness and impairs balance.

Moderate Hydrochlorothiazide + Furosemide

Sequential nephron blockade with furosemide and thiazide diuretics produces a synergistic diuretic effect that can rapidly cause severe hypovolemia, hyponatremia, and hypokalemia.

Moderate Hydrochlorothiazide + Empagliflozin

The combination of empagliflozin and hydrochlorothiazide can cause additive volume depletion and hypotension, and may also increase the risk of genital mycotic infections through shared glucosuria.
