What is Dyrenium ?

Triamterene is a potassium-sparing diuretic used primarily to treat hypertension and edema associated with conditions such as congestive heart failure, liver cirrhosis, and nephrotic syndrome. It works by inhibiting sodium reabsorption in the kidneys, which helps in conserving potassium while promoting the excretion of water and sodium. Triamterene is often used in combination with other diuretics to enhance its efficacy and minimize the risk of hypokalemia.
