How should this medicine be used?
The combination of captopril and hydrochlorothiazide comes as a tablet to take by mouth. It is usually taken once or twice a day on an empty stomach, 1 hour before meals. To help you remember to take captopril and hydrochlorothiazide, take it around the same time every day. Follow the directions on your prescription label carefully, and ask your doctor or pharmacist to explain any part you do not understand. Take captopril and hydrochlorothiazide exactly as directed. Do not take more or less of it or take it more often than prescribed by your doctor.
Your doctor may start you on a low dose of captopril and hydrochlorothiazide and gradually increase your dose, not more than once every 6 to 8 weeks.
Captopril and hydrochlorothiazide controls high blood pressure but does not cure it. Continue to take captopril and hydrochlorothiazide even if you feel well. Do not stop taking captopril and hydrochlorothiazide without talking to your doctor.

Why does my doctor insist?
My GP wants me to change from current anti-hypertensive which works OK for me (I got generic captopril for months), to Valsartan (Diovan here). I don't want to feed the big companies and prefer to look for cheaper good quality alternative. What do you think I should do? ![[Confused]](confused.gif)
Thanks for your help.

generic lisinopril
You may consider asking your physician if Lisinopril w/ Hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ) would be right for you. If you are having water retention, the HCTZ can offset that by having the kidneys get rid of excess water and salt through the urine. I have been taking Lisinopril/HCTZ combo and have not had any problems. It's been wonderful to be back to normal. I was diagnosed with Stage 2 Hypertension at age 23. It was unexplainable how, but this drug has changed my life.
