Drugs and medicine.

Merck Sharp 8 Dohme Hydropres is the trade name of hydro-chlorothiazide with reserpine. It is used for the treatment of high blood pressure in an attempt to prevent the harmful changes that sustained high blood pressure may cause. Hydrochlorothiazide is chemically related to the sulfonarnides. If you are allergic to any sulfa drug, do not take it without special instructions.
Follow the instructions on the prescription exactly. Do not take a larger or smaller dose of the medicine than the prescription tells you to. This medicine may irritate an empty stomach; therefore, please take it immediately before, with, or after meals or with food or milk between meals.
While losing extra fluid, your body may also lose too much potassium. Being unusually thirsty or weak may be early signs that you need more potassium. You may make up this loss by eating more potassium-rich foods, such as oranges, grapefruit (or their juices), bananas and apricots. If you cannot get enough extra potassium this way, your doctor may wish to prescribe it in one of several forms to supplement your diet. Decreasing the salt you use on your food and in cooking will enhance the beneficial effects of the medicine and also decrease the potassium loss.
Take all the medicine prescribed, even if you feel much better before you have taken all of it. If you have an adverse reaction, stop using the medicine and contact your doctor.

PRECAUTIONS
Using medicines together may some-
times cause unfavorable reactions. So
tefl your doctor about any medicine you are taking now (including drugs you buy without prescription).
If your urine output drops below what you think is a normal amount for you on any one day, stop taking the medicine and notify your doctor. If you should require surgery for any reason, be sure that the surgeon, dentist or anesthetist knows you are taking Hydropres.
Do not give any of this medicine to anyone else. You should not take Hydropres if you have a peptic ulcer, ulcerative colitis or if you are mentally depressed. If you have asthma, kidney disease or diabetes, or if you are pregnant, tell your doctor before you start taking Hydropres.
