DYAZIDE SUMMARY
DYAZIDE® (hydrochlorothiazide/triamterene) Capsules
Each
Dyazide
capsule for oral use, with opaque red cap and opaque white body, contains hydrochlorothiazide 25 mg and triamterene 37.5 mg, and is imprinted with the product name DYAZIDE and SB. Hydrochlorothiazide is a diuretic/antihypertensive agent and triamterene is an antikaliuretic agent.
This fixed combination drug is not indicated for the initial therapy of edema or hypertension except in individuals in whom the development of hypokalemia cannot be risked.
Dyazide
is indicated for the treatment of hypertension or edema in patients who develop hypokalemia on hydrochlorothiazide alone.
Dyazide
is also indicated for those patients who require a thiazide diuretic and in whom the development of hypokalemia cannot be risked.
Dyazide
may be used alone or as an adjunct to other antihypertensive drugs, such as beta-blockers. Since
Dyazide
may enhance the action of these agents, dosage adjustments may be necessary.
