Is FOOT AMPUTATION a side effect of HYDROCHLOROTHIAZIDE ? ( FactMed.com )

About this FactMed analysis covering adverse side effect reports of HYDROCHLOROTHIAZIDE patients who developed FOOT AMPUTATION.

FactMed provides MD-approved analysis to help both patients, researchers, and physicians accurately assess the risk profile for more than 20,000 different pharmaceutical products. The below report offers compiled information from Food & Drug Administration and FactMed user submissions. Between January 2004 and October 2012, 3 individuals taking HYDROCHLOROTHIAZIDE reported FOOT AMPUTATION to the FDA. A total of 47981 HYDROCHLOROTHIAZIDE drug adverse event reaction reports were made with the FDA during this time period. Often the FDA only receives reports of the most critical and severe cases; these numbers may therefore underrepresent the complication rate of the medication.

QUESTION FEMUR FRACTURE	Hey there..I ran into this post, and really felt the need to reply. I mylesf (you can read more about me by clicking my username..but I’m not too interesting!) have OI as well. I have type 3..and am indeed in a wheelchair. Strangely, I too had the option of the pins in the leg/arms..but never had it done. My mom wanted to wait for me to choose as well, and truthfully, I don’t think it would have done much. I’ll never walk, which is perfectly fine..so there isn’t much need for all the painful surgeries. None the less, I live a perfectly normal life..go to college..have friends, and all that. I’m 25, and I’d say quite healthy. I’ll also say I haven’t had a broken bone in years (though I had several throughout my childhood..from ribs..to arms..legs..etc). I was also born with a fractured skull and a broken leg. None the less..I’ve found that at about age 16 things really started to slow down with the breaking, and I have found that my bones have become far stronger. I can do things which I never could..including getting out of my chair, in it, etc. I can’t walk, but really..it doesn’t affect me in a negative way.Anyway..I rambled..I always do..haha! It was interesting to see someone else who has OI. I hope all is well..and perhaps we could talk some time.((sorry for the double post..I meant to post under my actual account..))Bye for now!-Joe	2015-07-13 07:08:31

QUESTION GENITAL HERPES	Hello I have come to realize taking HCTZ (hydrochlorothiazide) causes Herpes outbreaks. I already had genital herpes but only had an outbreak once a year or every two years. Since I started taking HCTZ for high blood pressure, I have constant outbreaks! One isn't even healed up yet before I am getting another outbreak! I am going to my doctor to change medications. It does work well for my blood pressure even though it is a diuretic. I wanted to let everyone know. Anyone else found this to be true?	2015-10-13 12:53:27

QUESTION ALCOHOL WITHDRAWAL SYNDROME	I was recently diagnosed with high blood pressure & prescribed HYDROCHLOROTHIAZIDE. I was told lifestyle changes would also aide in lower my blood pressure so I stopped drinking & significantly cut back smoking. After about 2 weeks of taking the meds & not drinking, I've suddenly came down with severe headaches that at times can be unbearable. Is it possible for there to be any correlation of the 2 that could be bringing these headaches about? I plan to go see my PCP ASAP but thought I'd at least ask until I go.	2016-01-16 14:16:57

QUESTION BLOOD GLUCOSE INCREASED	Hi, I took HCTZ since 2005, I stopped taking it in 2016, After stopping HCTZ I started having issues with hypoglycemia. I am diabetic and was on glipizide and metformin at the time. I complained to my dr for two months about the hypoglycemia before getting off the glipizide myself which stopped the low blood sugar issues. I also noticed that the neuropathy seemed to clear up some after stopping HCTZ. When I told my Dr the HCTZ had caused my blood sugars to go up he denied it. I still do not take it or glipizide and my sugars are more stable.	2017-07-13 12:20:15
