What else can I help you with?
Can you give plasma if taking hydrochlorothiazide?
HCTZ (hydrochlorothiazide) should not affect your ability to donate plasma, as it is not listed as a medication that disqualifies you from donating. However, it's always best to check with the plasma donation center for their specific guidelines before going in to donate.
What are the side effects after donating plasma while on your period?
There should be no side effects. You should feel the same either way.
Does having herpes prevent you from donating plasma?
Currently having chicken pox (herpes virus) would prevent you from donating plasma (since you would be 'unwell'). Having had chicken pox in the past will not prevent you donating plasma or blood. Currently having shingles ( a reactiviation of the chicken pox virus) would prevent you from donating plasma/blood (again, you would be considered 'unwell'). However having a cold-sore (again, herpes virus), or minor herpes on a small patch of skin should not prevent you from being able to donate plasma/blood.

Will you get paid more money when donating plasma if your blood type is AB negative?
