Active Ingredient: Triamterene
For this indication, competent medicine agencies globally authorize below treatments:
For:
Oral, 100 milligrams triamterene, 2 times daily. Afterwards, oral, between 100 milligrams triamterene and 300 milligrams triamterene, divided daily, 1 to 2 doses in total. The maximum allowed total dose is 300 milligrams triamterene daily.
Dosage should be titrated to the needs of the individual patient. When used alone, the usual starting dose is 100 mg twice daily after meals.
When combined with another diuretic or antihypertensive agent, the total daily dosage of each agent should usually be lowered initially and then adjusted to the patient’s needs.
The total daily dosage should not exceed 300 mg.
When triamterene is added to other diuretic therapy or when patients are switched to triamterene from other diuretics, all potassium supplementation should be discontinued.
To help avoid stomach upset, it is recommended that the drug be taken after meals.
If a single daily dose is prescribed, it may be preferable to take it in the morning to minimize the effect of increased frequency of urination on nighttime sleep.
If a dose is missed, the patient should not take more than the prescribed dose at the next dosing interval.
