Hi, i was recently prescribed water pills, hydrochlorothyazide, but I don't have any other directions about taking them other than 1 pill every monday, wednesday and friday.
Here's the thing...am I supposed to drink water with the pills? I mean extraExtra strength mylanta calci tabs Extra strength pain relief water when I'm taking the pills to help make the pills do their job? I'm also concerned because I've been constipated for 5 days after taking the water pills and i'm wondering if this is related.
Now, today, I read that eating one bananna a day will help prevent the water pills causing potassium deficiency but since i've been constipated, i'm afraid to eat banannas.
