How long does it take for hydrochlorothiazide to start to work for edema?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not a good diuretic : Hydrochlorothiazide is not a very strong diuretic. It is mostly used for antihypertensive properties. Usually effect should be seen within the first couple of hours with increased urine output, although might not be very much increase.
