Tekturna HCT is a combination medication used for the treatment of high blood pressure (hypertension). It combines aliskiren, a direct renin inhibitor, with hydrochlorothiazide, a diuretic (water pill). This combination helps lower blood pressure by decreasing substances in the body that narrow blood vessels while increasing the excretion of salt and water.

How is this medication used?

Take Tekturna HCT exactly as prescribed by your doctor, usually once daily with or without food. Do not take in larger or smaller amounts or for longer than recommended. Try to take this medication at the same time each day to maintain an even level of the drug in your bloodstream.

What are the possible side effects?

Common side effects include dizziness, lightheadedness, blurred vision, or tiredness as your body adjusts to the medication. You may also experience a dry cough, loss of appetite, diarrhea, or increased sun sensitivity. Serious side effects can include allergic reactions, high potassium levels, kidney problems, and low blood pressure. Inform your doctor if you experience any severe or persistent side effects.

What are the potential interactions?

Tekturna HCT can interact with other blood pressure medications, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) like ibuprofen or naproxen, potassium supplements, salt substitutes containing potassium, alcohol, and certain medications for cholesterol, diabetes, and depression. It's important to inform your healthcare provider about all medications or supplements you are taking to avoid potential interactions.
