What is the difference by using Triamterene or Prednison medicine? ## Hello, Emeric! How are you? There aren't in the same class of medication and aren't used to treat the same things, at all. Triamterene is a potassium sparing diuretic that's used to treat conditions such as congestive heart failure, high blood pressure and edema. However, Prednisone is a steroid class medication that's used to treat allergic reactions, swelling and immunity disorders. It can actually cause fluid retention as a side effect. Are there any other questions I can help with?

I BEGAN SUFFERING FROM MENIERE'S SYNDROME IN THE 1960'S. THE SYMPTONS RANGED FROM MILD TO VERY SEVERE. IT CONTINUED FOR YEARS. A DOCTOR PRESCRIBED TRIAMTERENE HCTZ 37.5. I WOULD SAY I HAVE NOT HAD AN EPISODE FOR 10 YEARS OR MORE. SUBSEQUENT DOCTORS HAD NO COMMENT EXCEPT TO SAY IF IT WORKS KEEP TAKING IT. LET ME HAVE YOUR THOUGHTS OR SIMILAR EXPERIENCE. ## Hi, Bill! I'm not a doctor, but from what I know of medication and medical information, Meniere's can sometimes be caused by a buildup of fluid in the ear, though it isn't known why such a buildup occurs or why it doesn't seem to go away… Thus, the reason this medication may help could be due to the HCTZ in it, Hydrochlorothiazide is a diuretic that's used to remove excess fluid from the body.

How do I make these muscle spams go away? ## Hello, Meela! How are you? Are you making sure to take in enough fluid while taking this? One of the active ingredients is Hydrochlorothiazide, which is a diuretic that's used to help remove excess fluid from the body, but it can cause dehydration if you aren't taking in enough to replace it. That's usually what causes the muscle spasms. Have you consulted your doctor?

How long will it take for marijuana to clear out of urine test. ## Marijuana has detectable metabolites that can be measured and detected in blood or urine tests fir over 39 days depending on the amount used and frequency of use over an extended period of time. Meaning, if one uses their prescribed marijuana every 8 hours for 2 months, the traces of active metabolites will be detectable for much longer than a person that uses it once a week. The only method for eradicating marijuana from a positive reading is drinking lots of fluids. There are a million pills and liquids for sale that claim that they will clear your system, and not test positive- and they all are a waste of money and possibly can harm you in rare cases. These chemicals are 99% of the time simply diuretic preparations de...

my doctor said to reduce the amount of Triamterene that I am taking, because it is effecting my kidneys I am taking it for my high blood pressure among other pills too. He want's me to take the Triamterene just every other day, but what if I stop all together, cause I don't want to damage my kidneys. Please advice me. ## Hello, Elquapo! How are you? What else are you taking? What type of kidney issue has shown up? If this is the only medication you're on for your blood pressure, then it wouldn't be advisable to completely stop it.

Does Dytorplus10 cause cramps in various muscles? ## Hello, Vikram! How are you? This medication is a diuretic that helps to remove excess fluid from the body to help treat conditions such as edema, high blood pressure and congestive heart failure. Thus, if you're experiencing muscle cramps from it, it is usually due to dehydration, because you're not taking in enough fluid to make up for the fluid it is removing. Have you consulted your doctor? How much water do you drink each day?

My 87 year old mom is staying with me at Christmas. I have LASIK and potassium that are supposed to be given 20mg and 10 mg respectively. Can I half the dose? ## Hello, Anita! How are you? Yes, as long as tablet, such as the Lasix isn't time released or marked that you shouldn't cut, break or chew it, it is okay to do so, but you should always make sure to check with your doctor or pharmacist to be certain. The potassium, however, is one of those that is usually marked not to be broken, cut, crushed or etc. It can cause severe irritation of the stomach if that is done, so it needs to be taken whole. Is there anything else I can help with?

Sounds like furosemide ... A diuretic ## Hi Roxx, The closest match I've been able to locate is Allopurinol (100 mg). It is a white round pill with imprint N020. It is manufactured by Northstar Rx and has a National Drug Code of 16714-0041. Allopurinol (Zyloprim, and generics) is a drug used primarily to treat hyperuricemia (excess uric acid in blood plasma) and its complications, including chronic gout. It is a xanthine oxidase inhibitor which is administered orally. Possible side effects - Because allopurinol is not a uricosuric, it can be used in patients with poor kidney function. However, allopurinol has two important disadvantages. First, its dosing is complex. Second, some patients are hypersensitive to the drug, therefore its use requires careful monitoring. Allopurinol has ...
