Background
A description of the experience
Triamterene - trade names Dyrenium and Maxzide , is used in combination with thiazide diuretics for the treatment of hypertension and oedema.
Triamterene directly blocks the epithelial sodium channel (ENaC) on the lumen side of the kidney collecting tubule. Common side effects include a depletion of sodium, folic acid and calcium, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, headache, dizziness, fatigue, and dry mouth. Serious side effects may include heart palpitations, tingling/numbness, fever, chills, sore throat, rash, and back pain. Triamterene can also cause kidney stones through direct crystallization or by seeding calcium oxalate stones. Triamterene is best avoided in patients with diabetes, heptic impairment and chronic kidney disease due to the possibility of hyperkalemia. Triamterene may impart a blue fluorescent color to the urine.
