Hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ) is a thiazide diuretic, and while it contains a sulfonamide group in its chemical structure, it is not classified as a sulfonamide antibiotic. The sulfonamide group in HCTZ contributes to its diuretic properties but does not confer the antibacterial activity characteristic of sulfonamide drugs. Therefore, while HCTZ has a sulfonamide moiety, it is not considered a sulfonamide in the context of antibiotic classification.

Does hydrochlorothiazide show up in a urine screen?

Hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ) is detectable in a urine screen for many days after the medication has last been ingested. The drug screen must include a test for the HCTZ for it to be detected. This test is commonly included in drug screens as some people will use HCTZ in an attempt to flush illegal substances from their system. HCTZ is a prescription drug, although, it is not a "controlled substance."
