Aldactazide (hydrochlorothiazide; spironolactone) Side Effects, Uses Dosages
Side Effects for Aldactazide (hydrochlorothiazide; spironolactone)
I had hair growth and acne from male androgens it cleared it up. It also took away all my ganglion cysts in 3 days
Dr. had me on Lisinopril (30 mg per day) for years and it did very little to lower my BP. When used in combo with Aldactazide, it was like flipping a switch.
None observed. No apparent increase in urination.
Works best as an additional med for hypertension but for me, not alone,
Severe hypertension BP 200/140
Not only the only effective drug, but also minimun side effects!No sexual side effects.
I could write a book on the Doctors I've gone through and the combinations of drugs I have taken to solve my blood pressure problem. Try aldactazide, you'll like it! And cheap too.
ALDACTAZIDE (HYDROCHLOROTHIAZIDE; SPIRONOLACTONE): This product is used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension), heart failure, or extra fluid in the body (edema). Lowering high blood pressure helps prevent strokes, heart attacks, and kidney problems. This product contains two medications: spironolactone and hydrochlorothiazide. Both medications are "water pills" (diuretics) and cause your body to get rid of extra salt and water. This effect helps to relax the blood vessels so that blood can flow more easily and may increase the amount of urine you make when you first start the product. Spironolactone also helps to treat or prevent low blood potassium levels and block the activity of a certain natural substance (aldosterone) that can cause edema. Your doctor may direct you to start taking the individual medications first, and then switch you over to this combination product if this is the best dose combination for you.

obsessive tendencies, depression
Lost my eyebrows! Headache, weak, blurry vision
I wouldn't recommend this drug to anyone. It made me feel like crap all day and eventually knocked me out at the end of it. I didn't give it time to control my mania or psychotic symptoms because of the amount of harm that I felt it was causing to my body.
I stopped taking Simvastin and started taking a natural remedy that I found - Policosanol. I take the same dose (20mg.) that I took of Simvastin and have not experienced any side effects,my eye and muscles are starting to return to normal and the severe leg cramping has stopped... I will NEVER take any form of statin again... Thx so much for having this website - it's nice to know that I wasn't alone in my statin nightmare!
Zoloft has increased my level of energy and ability to get more done instead of laying in bed all day but with increased mood came increased sex drive and now I cannot enjoy sex. Sure I would like to continue to not be as depressed but I would also like to be able to enjoy sex.
