Generic Name: chlorothiazide and reserpine (klor oh THYE a zide and re SER peen)
Brand Names: Diupres-250, Diupres-500
Reserpine lowers blood pressure by decreasing the amount of certain chemicals in your body. This allows your blood vessels (veins and arteries) to relax and your heart to beat more slowly and easily.
Chlorothiazide is a thiazide diuretic (water pill). It helps to lower your blood pressure and decrease edema (swelling) by increasing the amount of salt and water you lose in your urine.
Chlorothiazide and reserpine is used to lower high blood pressure.
Chlorothiazide and reserpine may also be used for purposes other than those listed in this medication guide.
Tell your doctor and dentist that you are taking this medication before having surgery.
You must not take chlorothiazide and reserpine if you
have peptic ulcer disease (stomach ulcers);
have ulcerative colitis;
are suffering from depression (especially if you have suicidal thoughts);
are receiving electroconvulsive shock therapy; or
are taking a monoamine oxidase inhibitor (MAOI) such as isocarboxazid (Marplan), phenelzine (Nardil), or tranylcypromine (Parnate).
Before taking this medication, tell your doctor if you have
gallstones or other stomach problems,
diabetes,
gout,
a collagen vascular disease such as systemic lupus erythematosus,
high cholesterol or triglyceride levels,
pancreatitis,
asthma, or
any type of heart disease.
You may require a lower dose or special monitoring during therapy with chlorothiazide and reserpine if you have any of the conditions listed above.
Take chlorothiazide and reserpine exactly as directed. If you do not understand these directions, ask your pharmacist, nurse, or doctor to explain them to you.
Take the missed dose as soon as you remember. However, if it is almost time for your next dose, skip the dose you missed and take only your next regularly scheduled dose. Do not take a double dose of this medication.
Symptoms of a chlorothiazide and reserpine overdose include low blood pressure (fainting, dizziness, weakness); sleepiness; uncontrollable hand, leg, or arm movements; a slow pulse; low body temperature; diarrhea; increased urination; vomiting; and slow breathing.
Avoid a diet high in salt. Too much salt will cause your body to retain water and will decrease the effects of chlorothiazide.
Do not let yourself become overheated in hot weather or during exercise, and use caution if you have a fever. These situations increase the effects of chlorothiazide and reserpine in your body, and you may become very dizzy.
Do not take any over the counter cough, cold, allergy, sleep, or diet medications without first asking your doctor or pharmacist. These will interfere with your chlorothiazide and reserpine therapy.
Use caution when you are driving, operating machinery, or performing other hazardous activities until you know how chlorothiazide and reserpine affects you. If it makes you dizzy or drowsy, avoid these activities.
Tell your doctor and dentist that you are taking this medication before having surgery.

Before taking this medication, tell your doctor if you are taking any of the following medicines:

prescription and over-the-counter cough, cold, allergy, diet, and sleeping pills, any of which may contain drugs that increase your blood pressure and heart rate and thus decrease the effects of reserpine;
the cholesterol-lowering drugs cholestyramine (Questran) and colestipol (Colestid), which may decrease the effects of chlorothiazide;
nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) such as ibuprofen (Motrin, Advil), ketoprofen (Orudis, Orudis, KT, Oruvail), and naproxen (Naprosyn, Anaprox, Aleve), which may also decrease the effects of chlorothiazide;
other commonly used NSAIDs, including diclofenac (Cataflam, Voltaren), etodolac (Lodine), fenoprofen (Nalfon), flurbiprofen (Ansaid), indomethacin (Indocin), ketorolac (Toradol), mefenamic acid (Ponstel), nabumetone (Relafen), oxaprozin (Daypro), piroxicam (Feldene), sulindac (Clinoril), and tolmetin (Tolectin);
oral antidiabetic drugs such as Glipizide (Glucotrol), glyburide (Micronase, Glynase, Diabeta), chlorpropamide (Diabinese), tolazamide (Tolinase) and tolbutamide (Orinase), which may not lower your blood sugar as well during therapy with chlorothiazide and reserpine (your diabetes therapy may have to be adjusted);
