CHLORTHALIDONE vs LISINOPRIL AND HYDROCHLOROTHIAZIDE

I start by saying I'm an NP student, not a pharmacist. In my clinical rotations the providers I am under are all prescribing HCTZ with no good explanation why. In my acute inpatient job, everyone is on HCTZ. I can't even think of one time I have ever had one of my patients come in on Chlorthalidone

My mother in law had a knee replacement surgery and was doing well. She was mobile and doing PT. 10 days post op she collapsed and was gone before she hit the ground, they ruled it a pulmonary embolism. I just reviewed the detailed autopsy. She had multiple clots in all lobes of both lungs. "The

My question is, now that we are in such a shortage, any recommendations on how to take the edge off of the At

Guys while chlorthalidone is more potent than hydrochlorothiazide at lower doses why combinations of ACE-I + hydrochlorothiazide are more common than chlorthalidone

I (43 yr, female, taking 10mg chlorthalidone daily) have begun monitoring my BP at home and am curious why they say to sit still for five minutes. I’m almost always up and about and can’t think of many times during the day I’d really be still. Are the guidelines set up in such a way that we only con

Hey, I'm an amb care pharmacist which means I've got compounding amnesia. We have a guy who really needs a lower dose of chlorthalidone than we can get by cutting a 25mg tab. Does anyone have a recipe for compounded liquid, or good refs to search for this? I swear 10 years ago of have known this.

Hi all -- have been lurking the hypertension sub since January, when I experienced a hypertensive crisis about six weeks after a "mild" case of the 'rona (vaccinated, recovered at home but it was obviously horrible, and also about 11 months postpartum, 32 years old). I'm wondering if anyone's had/ha

So I’ve been experiencing palpitations primarily on the right side of chest for a few months, at least as long as I’ve been on bp meds. It’s normally only been maybe 2-3 times a day. Not painful at all just a little nerve racking. My cardiologist had me wear a heart monitor for a few weeks and said

Hello everyone just discovered this sub recently as I've been reading everyone's stories/experiences with COA. I didn't even know it was a thing until a few days ago when I went to a cardiologist for the first time in my life (30M). So at 13yo I was diagnosed with high blood pressure, was a very act

I'm on 3 different daily medications (lisinopril, hydrochlorothiazide, and losartin), and my PCP has told me that missing one day won't cause any noticeable effects... But a lot of times I will go to bed feeling 'off' is a way that's hard to describe, only to notice in the morning that I forgot to
