I have had high triglycerides and cholesterol for years.  The hydrochlorothiazide I was put on recently has neither helped nor hurt.  By the way, this drug was added to my routine because certain other drugs have an unacceptable level of NDMA, a possible cancer-causing agent.  In my case it was Valsartan, a combo drug.

Been taking it for quite a number of years with no side effects.  Mine is a combination of Hydro and Triamterene.

I've taken it for probably 15 years now along with one other blood pressure medication. I've not had any side effects that I'm aware of from it.
