Frequently asked questions
When should I take Aquazide 12.5?
In the morning. It makes you pass more urine for several hours, so a morning dose avoids getting up at night.
Is Aquazide 12.5 a blood pressure tablet or a water tablet?
Both. It removes extra salt and water through the kidneys, which lowers blood pressure and reduces swelling. The 12.5 mg dose is mainly used for blood pressure.
Can I take Aquazide 12.5 with Telma 40?
Yes, this is a very common combination and even comes as one tablet (Telma-H). Your doctor will check potassium and kidney function after starting.
Can I take Aquazide 12.5 with alcohol?
Avoid or keep it very small. Alcohol plus a water tablet can drop blood pressure and leave you dizzy or dehydrated, particularly in hot weather.
