How should I take Microzide?
Follow all directions on your prescription label. Your doctor may occasionally change your dose to make sure you get the best results. Do not use Microzide in larger or smaller amounts or for longer than recommended.
Microzide is usually taken once per day. Follow your doctor’s dosing instructions very carefully.
Call your doctor if you have ongoing vomiting or diarrhea, or if you are sweating more than usual. You can easily become dehydrated while taking this medicine, which can lead to severely low blood pressure or a serious electrolyte imbalance.
While using Microzide, you may need frequent medical tests and blood pressure be checks. Your blood and urine may both be tested if you have been vomiting or are dehydrated.
If you need surgery, tell the surgeon ahead of time that you are using Microzide. You may need to stop using the medicine for a short time.
Keep using this medicine as directed, even if you feel well. High blood pressure often has no symptoms. You may need to use blood pressure medicine for the rest of your life.
Store at room temperature away from moisture, heat, and freezing. Keep the bottle tightly closed when not in use.
What happens if I miss a dose?
Take the missed dose as soon as you remember. Skip the missed dose if it is almost time for your next scheduled dose. Do not take extra medicine to make up the missed dose.
What happens if I overdose?
Seek emergency medical attention or call 115.
Overdose symptoms may include nausea, weakness, dizziness, dry mouth, thirst, and muscle pain or weakness.
What should I avoid while taking Microzide?
Drinking alcohol with Microzide can cause side effects.
Avoid becoming overheated or dehydrated during exercise, in hot weather, or by not drinking enough fluids. Follow your doctor’s instructions about the type and amount of liquids you should drink. In some cases, drinking too much liquid can be as unsafe as not drinking enough.
