Summary
Hydrochlorothiazide can worsen glucose tolerance and may partly offset the glucose-lowering effect of exenatide. The effect is generally modest and dose dependent. Glycemic control may drift after thiazide initiation or dose increase.

Amlodipine-hydrochlorothiazide-valsartan and Exenatide injectable have a small, usually unimportant interaction. Most people can take both; the pharmacist may still mention it so that any unexpected effect is recognised.
Why it happens
Thiazides reduce insulin sensitivity and secretion, possibly via hypokalemia, opposing the glucose-lowering action of exenatide.
What to do
Monitor blood glucose and HbA1c after starting or adjusting the thiazide. Adjust the antidiabetic regimen if control worsens.
