Summary
Thiazides may reduce renal tubular secretion of some beta-lactams, modestly raising cefprozil levels. This is rarely clinically significant in patients with normal renal function.

Cefprozil and Hydrochlorothiazide-telmisartan have a small, usually unimportant interaction. Most people can take both; the pharmacist may still mention it so that any unexpected effect is recognised.
Cefprozil belongs to Anti Bacterial; Hydrochlorothiazide-telmisartan belongs to Cardiovascular.
Why it happens
