Are Hydroxyzine And Hydrochlorothiazide, Which Is A Component In Lisinopril, The Same?
Are hydroxzine which is listed on my allergy list and hydrochloricthiazide ( in Lisinopril/ HCTZ) the same thing? My pharmacy (that I have gone to for years) and have had Lisinopril/ HTC 20 filled for years now says it is. I have not have any trouble taking Lis. Usually I react to meds with hives. What do you think?

Hi,
I understand your concern.
Hydroxyzine is an anti-histamine which is also used to treat tension and anxiety due to its sedative effects.
Hydrochlorothiazide is a diuretic med used to treat hypertension.
This is not the same as hydroxyzine.
So, you can use it safely as long as it is not in your allergy list.
Hope this answers your query.
