Should diuretics be taken separately or together?

Q: Does it matter whether a diuretic is taken separately or in the same pill for high blood pressure? Cozar vs. Hyzar, for example. I’m wondering because the difference in cost is huge!
A: Diuretics were combined with other medications to treat high blood pressure for convenience. Some people prefer to take only one pill. There is no reason why the medications can’t be taken separately. When calculating the cost savings, remember receiving an additional drug means another insurance co-payment and/or pharmacy dispensing fee.
