A member asked:
Maybe hctz, (hydrochlorothiazide) as a hypertensive, has fewer side effects, i.e., dizziness? if so, will ask md to move from 25 mg to 50 mg next week. worthwhile?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No : At 50 mg you don't much more more blood pressure lowering effects and increase risk of side effects. With it comes to hypertension therapy, using two medications with differing mechanisms of action is suggested than increasing the dose of a single medication.
