Drug Interactions With HCTZ

When various medications are taken together, there is a chance of developing drug interactions. With HCTZ, an interaction can occur if the drug is taken with barbiturates, norepinephrine, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, or other blood pressure medications, among other drugs. Drug interactions with HCTZ can potentially lead to increased blood sugar levels, an electrolyte imbalance, or extremely low blood pressure.
