WHAT IS DYAZIDE?

Triamterene (Dyazide) and Hydrochlorothiazide (Dyazide) combination is used alone or with other medicines to treat water retention (edema) or high blood pressure (hypertension). High blood pressure adds to the workload of the heart and arteries. If it continues for a long time, the heart and arteries may not function properly. This can damage the blood vessels of the brain, heart, and kidneys, resulting in a stroke, heart failure, or kidney failure. High blood pressure may also increase the risk of heart attacks. These problems may be less likely to occur if blood pressure is controlled.

Triamterene (Dyazide) and Hydrochlorothiazide (Dyazide) are both diuretic medicines (water pills). They reduce the amount of water in the body by increasing the flow of urine, which helps lower the blood pressure. Triamterene (Trianseril) helps prevent your body from absorbing too much salt and keeps your potassium levels from getting too low.
