Methyclothiazide comes as a tablet to be taken orally.

Follow the directions on your prescription label carefully, and ask your doctor or pharmacist to explain any part you do not understand.

This medicine will increase urination. If you are taking 1 dose of this medicine daily, take it in the morning to prevent this from affecting your sleep. If you are taking more than 1 dose daily, take the last dose no later than 6 pm.

Follow your doctor's directions. They may include following a daily exercise program or a low-salt or low-sodium diet, potassium supplements, and increased amounts of potassium-rich foods (e.g., bananas, prunes, raisins, and orange juice) in your diet.

It is important to know that methyclothiazide controls high blood pressure but does not cure it. Continue to take methyclothiazide even if you feel well, and do not stop taking methyclothiazide without talking to your doctor.
