📄 Full prescribing information FDA SPL
🎯 Indications and Usage ▾
INDICATIONS AND USAGE Hydrochloro‑thiazide capsules are indicated in the management of hypertension either as the sole therapeutic agent, or in combination with other antihypertensives. Unlike potassium sparing combina‑tion diuretic products, hydrochloro‑thiazide capsules may be used in those patients in whom the development of hyperkalemia cannot be risked, including patients taking ACE inhibitors. Usage in Pregnancy: The rou‑tine use of diuretics in an otherwise healthy woman is inappropriate and exposes mother and fetus to unneces‑sary hazard.
Diuretics do not prevent development of tox‑emia of pregnancy, and there is no satisfactory evidence that they are useful in the treatment of developed toxemia. Edema during pregnancy may arise from pathological causes or from the physiologic and mechanical consequences of pregnancy. Diuretics are indi‑cated in pregnancy when edema is due to pathologic causes, just as they are in the absence of pregnancy.
Dependent edema in pregnan‑cy resulting from restriction of venous return by the expanded uterus is properly treated through elevation of the lower extremities and use of support hose; use of diuretics to lower intravascular volume in this case is illogical and unneces‑sary. There is hypervolemia during normal pregnancy which is harmful to neither the fetus nor the mother (in the absence of cardiovascular dis‑ease), but which is associated with edema, including general‑ized edema in the majority of pregnant women. If this edema produces discomfort, in‑creased recumbency will often provide relief.
In rare instances this edema may cause extreme discomfort which is not relieved by rest. In these cases a short course of diuretics may provide relief and may be appropriate.
⏱️ Dosage and Administration ▾
DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION For Control of Hypertension: The adult initial dose of hydrochloro‑thiazide is one capsule given once daily whether given alone or in combination with other antihypertensives. Total daily doses greater than 50 mg are not recommended.
⛔ Contraindications ▾
CONTRAINDICATIONS Hydrochlorothiazide capsules are con‑traindicated in patients with anuria. Hypersensitivity to this product or other sulfonamide derived drugs is also con‑traindicated.
⚠️ Warnings ▾
WARNINGS Acute Myopia and Secondary Angle-Closure Glaucoma: Hydrochlorothiazide, a sulfonamide, can cause an idiosyncratic reaction, resulting in acute transient myopia and acute angle-closure glaucoma. Symptoms include acute onset of decreased visual acuity or ocular pain and typically occur within hours to weeks of drug initiation. Untreated acute angle-closure glaucoma can lead to permanent vision loss.
The primary treatment is to discontinue hydrochlorothiazide as rapidly as possible. Prompt medical or surgical treatments may need to be considered if the intraocular pressure remains uncontrolled. Risk factors for developing acute angle-closure glaucoma may include a history of sulfonamide or penicillin allergy.
Diabetes and Hypoglycemia: Latent diabetes mellitus may become manifest and diabetic patients given thiazides may require adjustment of their insulin dose. Renal Disease: Cumulative effects of the thiazides may develop in patients with impaired renal function. In such patients, thiazides may precipitate azotemia.
🤒 Adverse Reactions ▾
ADVERSE REACTIONS The adverse reactions associated with hydrochlorothiazide have been shown to be dose related. In controlled clinical trials, the adverse events reported with doses of 12.5 mg hydrochlorothiazide once daily were comparable to placebo. The following adverse reactions have been reported for doses of hydrochlorothiazide 25 mg and greater and, within each category, are listed in the order of decreasing severity.
Body as a whole: Weakness. Cardiovascular: Hypotension including orthostatic hypotension (may be aggravated by alcohol, barbiturates, narcotics or antihypertensive drugs). Digestive: Pancreatitis, jaundice (intrahepatic cholestatic jaundice), diarrhea, vomiting, sialadenitis, cramping, constipation, gastric irritation, nausea, anorexia.
Hematologic: Aplastic anemia, agranulocytosis, leukopenia, hemolytic anemia, thrombocytopenia. Hypersensitivity: Anaphylactic reactions, necrotizing angiitis (vasculitis and cutaneous vasculitis), respiratory distress including pneumonitis and pulmonary edema, photosensitivity, fever, urticaria, rash, purpura. Metabolic: Electrolyte imbalance (see PRECAUTIONS ), hyperglycemia, glycosuria, hyperuricemia.
Musculoskeletal: Muscle spasm. Nervous System/Psychiatric: Vertigo, paresthesia, dizziness, headache, restlessness. Renal: Renal failure, renal dysfunction, interstitial nephritis (see WARNINGS ).
Skin: Erythema multiforme including Stevens-Johnson syndrome, exfoliative dermatitis including toxic epidermal necrolysis, alopecia. Special Senses: Transient blurred vision, xanthopsia. Urogenital: Impotence.
Whenever adverse reactions are moderate or severe, thiazide dosage should be reduced or therapy withdrawn. Postmarketing Experience: The following adverse reaction has been identified during post-approval use of hydrochlorothiazide. Because the reaction is reported voluntarily from a population of uncertain size, it is not possible to reliably estimate the frequency or establish a causal relationship to drug exposure.
Non-melanoma Skin Cancer: Hydrochlorothiazide is associated with an increased risk of non-melanoma skin cancer. In a study conducted in the Sentinel System, increased risk was predominantly for squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) and in white patients taking large cumulative doses. The increased risk for SCC in the overall population was approximately 1 additional case per 16,000 patients per year, and for white patients taking a cumulative dose of ≥50,000 mg the risk increase was approximately 1 additional SCC case for every 6,700 patients per year.
🔄 Drug Interactions ▾
Drug Interactions: When given concurrently the following drugs may interact with thiazide diuretics: Alcohol, barbiturates, or narcotics: potentiation of ortho‑static hypotension may occur. Antidiabetic drugs: (oral agents and insulin) dosage adjustment of the antidiabetic drug may be required. Other antihypertensive drugs: ‑additive effect or potentiation.
Cholestyramine and colestipol resins: Cholestyramine and colestipol resins bind the hydrochlorothiazide and re‑duce its absorption from the gastrointestinal tract by up to 85 and 43 percent, respectively. Corticosteroid, ACTH: intensi‑fied electrolyte depletion, particularly hypokalemia. Pressor amines (e.g., norepinephrine): possible decreased response to pressor amines but not sufficient to preclude their use.
Skeletal muscle relaxants, nondepolarizing (e.g., tubocurarine): possible increased responsiveness to the muscle relaxant. Lithium: generally should not be given with diuretics. Diuretic agents reduce the renal clear‑ance of lithium and greatly increase the risk of lithium tox‑icity.
Refer to the package insert for lithium preparations before use of such preparations with hydrochloro‑thiazide. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs: In some patients, the administration of a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agent can reduce the diuretic, natriuretic, and antihypertensive effects of loop, potassium-sparing and thiazide diuretics. When hydrochloro‑thiazide and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agents are used concomitantly, the patients should be observed closely to determine if the desired effect of the diuretic is obtained.
🔄 Drug / Laboratory Test Interactions ▾
Drug/Laboratory Test Interactions: Thiazides should be discontinued before carrying out tests for parathyroid function (see PRECAUTIONS, General ).
🤰 Pregnancy ▾
Pregnancy: Teratogenic Effects: Studies in which hydrochlorothiazide was orally administered to pregnant mice and rats during their respective periods of major organogenesis at doses up to 3,000 and 1,000 mg hydrochlorothiazide/kg, respectively, provided no evidence of harm to the fetus. There are, however, no adequate and well-controlled studies in pregnant women. Because animal reproduction studies are not always predictive of human response, this drug should be used during pregnancy only if clearly needed.
Nonteratogenic Effects: Thiazides cross the placental barrier and appear in cord blood. There is a risk of fetal or neonatal jaundice, thrombocytopenia, and possibly other adverse reactions that have occurred in adults.
🧒 Pediatric Use ▾
Pediatric Use: Safety and effectiveness in pediatric patients have not been established.
🧓 Geriatric Use ▾
Geriatric Use: A greater blood pressure reduction and an increase in side effects may be observed in the elderly (i.e., >65 years) with hydrochlorothiazide. Starting treatment with the lowest available dose of hydrochlorothiazide (12.5 mg) is therefore recommended. If further titration is required, 12.5 mg increments should be utilized.
🆘 Overdosage ▾
OVERDOSAGE The most common signs and symptoms observed are those caused by electrolyte depletion (hypokalemia, hypochloremia, hyponatremia) and dehydration resulting from excessive diuresis. If digitalis has also been administered, hypokalemia may accentuate cardiac arrhythmias. In the event of overdosage, symptomatic and supportive measures should be employed.
Emesis should be induced or gastric lavage performed. Correct dehydration, electrolyte imbalance, hepatic coma and hypotension by established procedures. If required, give oxygen or artificial respiration for respiratory impairment.
The degree to which hydrochlorothiazide is removed by hemodialysis has not been established. The oral LD 50 of hydrochlorothiazide is greater than 10 gm/kg in the mouse and rat.
🧬 Clinical Pharmacology ▾
CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY Hydrochlorothiazide blocks the reabsorption of sodium and chloride ions, and it thereby increases the quantity of sodi‑um traversing the distal tubule and the volume of water excret‑ed. A portion of the additional sodium presented to the distal tubule is exchanged there for potassium and hydrogen ions. With continued use of hydro‑chlorothiazide and depletion of sodium, compensatory mecha‑nisms tend to increase this exchange and may produce excessive loss of potassium, hydrogen and chloride ions.
Hydrochlorothiazide also decreases the excretion of cal‑cium and uric acid, may increase the excretion of iodide and may reduce glomerular fil‑tration rate. Metabolic toxicities associated with excessive elec‑trolyte changes caused by hydrochlorothiazide have been shown to be dose-related. Pharmacokinetics and Metabolism: Hydrochlorothiazide is well absorbed (65% to 75%) fol‑lowing oral administration.
Absorption of hydrochlorothi‑azide is reduced in patients with congestive heart failure. Peak plasma concentrations are observed within 1 to 5 hours of dosing and range from 70 to 490 ng/mL follow‑ing oral doses of 12.5 to 100 mg. Plasma concentra‑tions are linearly related to the administered dose.
Concen‑trations of hydrochlorothiazide are 1.6 to 1.8 times higher in whole blood than in plasma. Binding to serum proteins has been reported to be approxi‑mately 40% to 68%. The plas‑ma elimination half-life has been reported to be 6 to 15 hours.
Hydrochlorothiazide is eliminated primarily by renal pathways. Following oral doses of 12.5 to 100 mg, 55% to 77% of the administered dose appears in urine and greater than 95% of the absorbed dose is excreted in urine as unchanged drug. In patients with renal disease, plasma con‑centrations of hydrochlorothi‑azide are increased and the elimination half-life is pro‑longed.
When hydrochloro‑thiazide is adminis‑tered with food, its bioavailabil‑ity is reduced by 10%, the max‑imum plasma concentration is reduced by 20%, and the time to maximum concentration increases from 1.6 to 2.9 hours. Pharmacodynamics: Acute antihypertensive effects of thi‑azides are thought to result from a reduction in blood vol‑ume and cardiac output, sec‑ondary to a natriuretic effect, although a direct vasodilatory mechanism has also been pro‑posed. With chronic adminis‑tration, plasma volume returns toward normal, but peripheral vascular resistance is de‑creased.
The exact mechanism of the antihypertensive effect of hydrochlorothiazide is not known. Thiazides do not affect normal blood pressure. Onset of action occurs within 2 hours of dos‑ing, peak effect is observed at about 4 hours, and activity per‑sists for up to 24 hours.
Clinical Studies: In an 87 patient 4-week double-blind, placebo controlled, parallel group trial, patients who received hydrochloro‑thiazide had reductions in seated systolic and diastolic blood pressure that were significantly greater than those seen in patients who received placebo. In published placebo-controlled trials com‑paring 12.5 mg of hydrochlorothiazide to 25 mg, the 12.5 mg dose preserved most of the placebo-corrected blood pressure reduction seen with 25 mg.
