What is hydrochlorothiazide and methyldopa?

Methyldopa lowers blood pressure by decreasing the levels of certain chemicals in your blood. This allows your blood vessels (veins and arteries) to relax and your heart to beat more slowly and easily.

Hydrochlorothiazide is a thiazide diuretic (water pill). It helps to lower your blood pressure and decrease edema (swelling) by increasing the amount of salt and water you lose in your urine.

Hydrochlorothiazide and methyldopa is used to treat high blood pressure.

Hydrochlorothiazide and methyldopa may also be used for purposes other than those listed in this medication guide.

What is the most important information I should know about hydrochlorothiazide and methyldopa?

Do not stop taking hydrochlorothiazide and methyldopa suddenly. Stopping suddenly could cause severely high blood pressure, nervousness, and anxiety. When you are beginning therapy with hydrochlorothiazide and methyldopa or when your dosage has just changed, take your medication at bedtime if possible. Hydrochlorothiazide and methyldopa will make you drowsy and may cause some dizziness. Taking it at bedtime will prevent you from falling. After you become accustomed to the effects of this medication, you can take it earlier in the day to avoid having to urinate during the night.

Stand up slowly from a sitting or lying position.

Do not use alcohol, antihistamines, prescription pain relievers, sleeping pills, or other drugs that may cause drowsiness or dizziness, except under the supervision of your doctor.

Who should not take hydrochlorothiazide and methyldopa?

You must not take hydrochlorothiazide and methyldopa if you

have any type of liver disease;
have an allergy to sulfa-based drugs such as sulfa antibiotics (you may have an allergic reaction to hydrochlorothiazide); or
are taking a monoamine oxidase inhibitor (MAOI) such as isocarboxazid (Marplan), phenelzine (Nardil), or tranylcypromine (Parnate).

Before taking this medication, tell your doctor if you

have any type of heart disease,
have had a heart attack or a stroke,
have kidney disease,
have high levels of cholesterol or triglycerides (types of fat) in your blood,
have diabetes,
have gout,
have a collagen vascular disease such as systemic lupus erythematosus, or
have pancreatitis.

You may require a lower dose or special monitoring during treatment if you have any of the conditions listed above.

Hydrochlorothiazide and methyldopa is in the FDA pregnancy category C. This means that it is not known whether hydrochlorothiazide and methyldopa will harm an unborn baby. Do not take this medication without first talking to your doctor if you are pregnant. Hydrochlorothiazide and methyldopa passes into breast milk. It is not known whether this drug will harm a nursing infant. Do not take hydrochlorothiazide and methyldopa without first talking to your doctor if you are breast-feeding a baby. If you are over 60 years of age, you may be more likely to experience side effects from hydrochlorothiazide and methyldopa therapy. You may require a lower dose.

How should I take hydrochlorothiazide and methyldopa?

Take hydrochlorothiazide and methyldopa exactly as directed by your doctor. If you do not understand these instructions, ask your pharmacist, nurse, or doctor to explain them to you.

Take each dose with a full glass of water.

Take this medication at bedtime when you are beginning therapy or when your dosage has changed. Hydrochlorothiazide and methyldopa will make you drowsy and may cause some dizziness. Taking it at bedtime will prevent falls and injuries. When you become used to the effects, you may take the medication earlier in the day to prevent nighttime urination.

Do not stop taking this medication suddenly even if you feel better. You may need to take hydrochlorothiazide and methyldopa for the rest of your life to control your condition.

Store this medication at room temperature away from moisture and heat.

What happens if I miss a dose?

Take the missed dose as soon as you remember. However, if it is almost time for your next dose, skip the dose you missed and take only your next regularly scheduled dose. Do not take a double dose of this medication.

What happens if I overdose?

Seek emergency medical attention.

Symptoms of a hydrochlorothiazide and methyldopa overdose include drowsiness, lethargy, weakness, lightheadedness, a slow heart rate, irregular heartbeats, nausea, vomiting, and possibly seizures.

What should I avoid while taking hydrochlorothiazide and methyldopa?

Avoid a diet high in salt. Too much salt will cause your body to retain water and will decrease the effects of hydrochlorothiazide.

Avoid prolonged exposure to sunlight. Hydrochlorothiazide may increase the sensitivity of your skin to sunlight. Use a sunscreen and wear protective clothing when exposure to the sun is unavoidable.

Avoid becoming overheated in hot weather. It is easy to become dangerously dehydrated while taking hydrochlorothiazide and methyldopa.

Avoid alcohol while taking hydrochlorothiazide and methyldopa. Alcohol, which will further lower your blood pressure, will increase the drowsiness caused by hydrochlorothiazide and methyldopa and may also increase dizziness. Use caution even with small amounts of alcohol.

Avoid other drugs such as sleeping pills, prescription pain relievers, antihistamines, and antidepressants. These products will also increase the drowsiness you experience. Talk to your doctor or pharmacist about any other prescription or over-the-counter medications you are taking.

Use caution when driving, operating machinery, or performing other hazardous activities. Hydrochlorothiazide and methyldopa may cause dizziness. If you experience dizziness, avoid these activities.

Hydrochlorothiazide and methyldopa side effects

If you experience any of the following serious side effects, stop taking hydrochlorothiazide and methyldopa and seek emergency medical attention:

an allergic reaction (difficulty breathing; closing of your throat; swelling of your lips, tongue, or face; or hives);
a very slow heart rate (less than 60 beats per minute);
unusually high or low blood pressure (fainting, a severe headache, flushing of your face);
chest pain;
uncontrollable movements of your arms, legs, or facial muscles;
yellowing of your skin or eyes;
unusual bleeding or bruising; or
little or no urine.

fatigue, dizziness, tiredness;
tingling or numbness in your arms, legs, hands, or feet;
headache;
constipation, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, or diarrhea;

Before taking this medication, tell your doctor if you are taking any of the following medicines:

prescription and over-the-counter cough, cold, allergy, diet, and sleeping pills, which may affect your condition or your treatment with hydrochlorothiazide and methyldopa;
the cholesterol-lowering drugs cholestyramine (Questran) and colestipol (Colestid), which may decrease the effects of hydrochlorothiazide;
nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) such as ibuprofen (Motrin, Advil), ketoprofen (Orudis, Orudis KT, Oruvail), and naproxen (Naprosyn, Anaprox, Aleve), which may decrease the effects of hydrochlorothiazide and also may increase the risk of damage to your kidneys;
