Is Hydrochlorothiazide Safe To Take While On Thyroid Medication?
My blood pressure readings were quite high 200/120 The doctor started me on 25mg hydrochlorothiazide. I forgot to tell her I was taking a pill for underactive thyroid. My blood pressure is now running 129 to 134 over 72 to 88. I have no side effects at all. Should I be taking the two pills.

Hi welcome to health care magic....
You are taking antithyroid medication and antihypertensive drug for your condition....
The levothyroxine and hydrochlorthiazide have no specific drug interactions, so they can be taken together.....
But still doctor consultation should be done for examination and further discussion....
Regular follow up needed
The dose of levothyroxine needs to be adjusted according to TSH level..
Take care
Advise : Physician consultation for examination and regular follow up...
