Overview:

Maxzide
(when available)

Pharmacology and use:
Triamterene, a relatively weak, potassium-sparing distal tubule diuretic and antihypertensive, is used in the management of hypokalemia. Triamterene is similar in action to amiloride but, unlike amiloride, increases the urinary excretion of magnesium. For the treatment of oedema in congestive cardiac failure and renal and hepatic disease used with or without other diuretics to preserve potassium.

Mechanism Of Action:
Triamterene interferes with sodium reabsorption in the distal renal tubule by inhibiting sodium transport mechanisms directly. Specifically it inhibits the Na+/K+/2Cl- co-transporter. The result is an electrical-potential difference across the membrane that blocks the passive distal tubular secretion of potassium. Relative to other diuretics, Triamterene has a unique mode of action as it inhibits the reabsorption of sodium ions in exchange for potassium and hydrogen ions at that segment of the distal tubule under the control of adrenal mineralocorticoids (especially aldosterone).
