What Does The Pill Hydrochlorothiazide Look Like

I'm taking Hydrochlorothiazide for water retention due to a side effect from high estrogen levels in my birth control. I take 25 mg every morning, and haven't been able to sleep at all in the past three nights. I've looked it up online and haven't found anywhere saying that it causes loss of sleep. Is that a side effect of hydrochlorothiazide or is there just something else wrong with me? Because I haven't changed any other medications, or habits since then. It's the only thing I can think of that's causing this. ## Hi Hannah, There are actually quite a few side effects listed that, in my opinion, could indirectly result in loss of sleep/insomnia-related symptoms. Posted below is a list of side effects for you to check out: Hypokalemia, an occasional side eff...

Started taking Hydrochlorothiazide awhile ago. Now I have a rash and have no idea why. Looking to see if this is the cause? ## How long have you been taking Hydrochlorothiazide? While a rash can be a side effect of many medications, normally, such side effects would appear withing the first month, or so, of taking a medication. If you've been on it longer than that, then the rash may not be related to the medication. The FDA lists the typical side effects of Hydrochlorothiazide as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, dry mouth, increased urination, and hypotension. Ref: Hydrochlorothiazide Information

I've been taking Lisinop/HCTZ tab 20-25 MG for a while now, it is a small pink round pill with 803 on one side and 77 on the other side. My Dr says it's for high blood pressure but my ins. co has it listed as Oral Diabetes med, I've never been diag. with Diabetes, is this the right med for my high blood pressure? ## Yes, Lisinopril with Hydrochlorothiazide is a medication that's used to treat high blood pressure and certain cardiac conditions. Learn more Lisinopril details here. Learn more Hydrochlorothiazide details here. It is not an oral diabetes medication, your insurance company may just have it listed wrong. Are there any other comments or questions?

My husband has been taking Hydrochlorothiazide cap Myl. He just got a refill and noticed it is Hydrochlorot tab Acc. Both are 12.5 mg. Are these the same medicine? ## Hi Joan - I am pretty sure that "Hydrochlorot" is just an abbreviation for the full name Hydrochlorothiazide. And based on the abbreviations that you shared, it sounds like the first version he took was a capsule from Mylan (NDC 0378-0810), and that his refill now contains the tablet from Accord (NDC 16729-182). Does the following image look like his current script? HCTZ 12.5 MG ORAL TABLET / ACCORD Color: Orange Imprint: H 1 If so, then my assumptions are correct. If NOT, is there any way that you can share the color and imprints on the new prescription? ## You are correct. His pills look like the picture. Thank ...

Little white pill with 06E and SZ or ZS, depending on how you look at it. Blank on other side ## I believe you were looking at part of the imprint upside down.

Learn more Hydrochlorothiazide details here. Learn more Losartan details here. Can you please double check and let me know if that's the correct imprint?

My pharmacy by mail sent me round orange tablets (7mm diameter, 2mm thickness) that were supposed to be 25mg of hydrochlorothiazide. They look like the last batch but the description on the label does not match the code stamped on the pills. The pills are plain on one side, with a scoring on the other for cutting in half. Above the score is capital I, and below the number 26. Did I get what I am supposed to? ## Yes, the tablets with this marking do contain 25mgs of Hydrochlorothiazide, which is a diuretic that's used to remove excess fluid from the body to treat conditions such as hypertension, edema and congestive heart failure.

small off yellow oval pill. APO on 1 side and the numbers 3-7.5-325 on the other. ## Based on your description I located a similar pill, if not the pill you are looking for.

NOTE: This particular pill I located is a light green color. Maybe can be mistaken for off-yellow. Also the imprint APO is on one side and the numbers 37.5 | 25 are on the other side.
