I Hear Some Medications Aren't As Good As Others. What About HCTZ?

A myPHteam Member asked a question 💭
Lebanon, CT

I have heard Lisinopril isn't as good as other meds. I wondering about HCTZ because it has Lisinopril in it. I have been taking HCTZ for about 5 years. Can you tell us a little about the meds?

I can't take HCTZ because it is harder on my system than Lasix and because of the Lisenopril. You can look up HCTZ on the net and it will give you information on the medicine. Lisenopril gave me a raspy cough that I couldn't get rid of. Finally, it made my throat raw and the doctor took me off. He put me on Losartin, which he said was a "cousin" of Lisenopril.
