Were you ever on any kind of diuretic such as Triamterene-HCTZ (Dyrenium)?
Trying to get a sense of how effective they can be.
Nope, neva.

38yo, 215lbs, 6'1".
Anyone on Triamterene-HCTZ (Dyrenium)? Is it essentially a water pill?
Do you have a family history of hypertension or heart disease?
Triamterene is a diuretic as it HCTZ. Triamterene is used in conjuction with HCTZ for its enhanced overall effects on the thiazide diuretic(HCTZ)and for the potassium sparing effects it demonstrates.
I haven't seen it used much in my career. Do you currently take it?
I am on Hydrochlorot. It is a diuretic.
How long have you been on it and has it been effective? Any idea how it compares to Triamterene?
I have only been on it a few months. I can't say how it compares because this is the first time I have been on this type of med.

Can you elaborate on this? Is it an older prescription you mean or any idea why it isn't used much?
No not at all. The drug itself is just not a common first attempt at hypertension control though in my experience. A complete history and physical by a healthcare pofessional would dictate the best method of approach for each individual situation. The fact that you have a family history puts you at risk for the same complications in the long run irregardless. Honestly, family history is one of the worst risk factors you can have overall......and i myself absolutely have it in the hypertension/heart disease aspect.
Is lisinopril a typical medicine doctors prescribe to control blood pressure?
