Yes, hydrochlorothiazide is a "water pill", also known as a diuretic. Did the provider that prescribed the medication ask you to take it at a certain time?
My doctor didn't tell me to take at any certain time but on the bottle it states to take 1 tablet orally daily.I just read an article on the Dr.Oz newsletter posted 9/14/2010, The Best Time To Avoid A Heart Attack,easy things you can do to prevent a morning heart atteck.In the article it states to take blood pressure-lowering medications,meds to lower cholesterol and low-dose aspirin at night.Thanks for any advise you might have.

Sorry I had a double post of the same thing.
You don't want to take it at night, the hydrochlorothiazide is a water pill. I wish docs would make that clear when they order it.
