Triamterene

Drug Info for triamterene

Triamterene is used alone or with other medications to treat edema (fluid retention; excess fluid held in body tissues) caused by various conditions, including liver and heart disease. Triamterene is in a class of medications called diuretics ('water pills'). It causes the kidneys to eliminate unneeded water and sodium from the body into the urine, but reduces the loss of potassium.

Your doctor will tell you how much of this medicine to take and how often. Do not take more medicine or take it more often than your doctor tells you to.

It is best to take this medicine after meals. Carefully follow your doctor's instructions about any special diet.

You should not use this medicine if you have had an allergic reaction to triamterene or sulfa drugs, or if you have liver disease, kidney disease, high potassium levels in your blood (hyperkalemia), or are unable to urinate. You should not use this medicine if you are using potassium supplements, salt substitutes, or other diuretics such as spironolactone (Aldactazide®, Aldactone®) or amiloride (Midamor®, Moduretic®).
