Triamterene is a potassium-sparing diuretic. That’s a type of “water pill” your doctor might prescribe if your body is holding on to too much fluid. Unlike other water pills that can make you lose potassium, tri­am­terene helps your body get rid of excess salt and water but tries to keep potassium levels more balanced.

This balance is important because potassium plays key roles in how your muscles work (including your heart) and in keeping your nerves functioning well. Triamterene helps your kidneys eliminate fluid while reducing some of the potassium loss that other diuretics often cause.

On our website, you’ll find Triamterene capsules in different strengths, including 25mg and 50 mg options, so your doctor can choose the dose that fits your health needs best.
