Drug Details
This medication is a combination of two diuretics, triamterene and hydrochlorothiazide, used to manage high blood pressure and reduce swelling (edema). By increasing urine production, it helps the body eliminate excess salt and water, which can lower blood pressure and reduce fluid buildup. This is particularly beneficial for individuals who have low potassium levels when using hydrochlorothiazide alone, as triamterene helps maintain potassium balance. Additionally, this medication can relieve symptoms such as shortness of breath or swelling in the ankles and feet due to conditions like heart failure, liver disease, or kidney disease. It is usually taken orally once a day. Common side effects may include headache, tiredness, and dizziness. Always consult with a healthcare professional before starting any new medication.
