Definition: n. Tematik: Hypnotics
Generic Name: Triamterene
Brand Name: Dyrenium
- *Classification:* Potassium-sparing diuretic
- *Available Forms:* Capsules, tablets
- *Target System:* Renal system (Kidneys)
- *Action:* Inhibits the epithelial sodium channels (ENaC) in the distal tubules of the kidneys, preventing sodium reabsorption and potassium secretion. This results in increased sodium and water excretion while sparing potassium.
- *Notes:* Used to treat hypertension and edema, often in combination with other diuretics to counteract potassium loss. Can cause hyperkalemia (elevated blood potassium levels) and may interact with other medications that affect potassium levels.
