Have Become Allergic To HCTZ. Prescribed Chloralid In Place Of HCTZ. Will Chloralid Be Safe?
Welcome to Health Care Magic
HCTZ (Hydrochlorothiazide) can cause allergy / can reduce the potassium
Lisinopril also can cause reaction, especially angio-neurotic oedema. / It is an Angiotensin Converting Enzyme Inhibitor (ACEI) / It may increase the potassium - does not drop...
What is chloralid? - probably Chlorthalidone?
Avalide is a combination of Angiotensin Receptor Blocker (ARB - Irbesartan) and HCTZ!
Vaccine is unlikely to have induced the change...
You can continue the ARB - safer than ACEI
Instead of HCTZ, you can switch over to a different class altogether - Calcium Channel Blocker (CCB - like amlodipine, Clinidipine, felodipine, and so on) - safer than diuretic.
There are combination formulas of these two for easy compliance
Take care
Wishing speedy recovery
God bless
Good luck
