Dezide is indicated-
- for the treatment of hypertension or edema in patients who develop hypokalemia on hydrochlorothiazide alone.
- for those patients who require a thiazide diuretic and in whom the development of hypokalemia cannot be risked.
- alone or as an adjunct to other antihypertensive drugs, such as betablockers. Since Dezide may enhance the action of these agents, dosage adjustments may be necessary.
