I want to know if it's used to remove water from the body, and if it causes hair loss? How long can someone take these?

Hello, Estella! How are you?

Did you mean Hydrochlorothiazide? If so, yes it is a diuretic that is used to remove excess fluid from the body to treat conditions, such as high blood pressure, congestive heart failure, edema and some cardiac conditions.

The U.S. FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, increased urination and dehydration.

Hair loss can be a possible side effect, but it is very rare.

You can take it as long as your doctor deems it safe for you to do so.

Is there anything else I can help with?
