What is the medication Maxzide?

Answer by  GordonLymes (78)

Maxzide is a common diuretic composed by triamterene and hydrochlorothiazide; it can be used in the treatment of hypertension (high blood pressure level) or edema (water accumulation). Its composition allows to eliminate water and sodium from the body without the risk of lowering potassium level, thanks to the synergy of the two molecules.

Answer by  LeheckaG (1826)

Maxzide treats hypertension (high-blood-pressure) by flushing water & sodium-salts through the kidneys. Maxzide combines triamterene (potassium-conserving-diuretic flushes water), with hydrochlorothiazide (natriuretic flushes sodium-salts). High-potassium/Hyperkalemia, potential fatal side-effect, needs periodic monitoring.

Maxzide is composed of multiple diuretics. It can be used for conditions such as liver or kidney diseases. These conditions cause water retention, and the Maxzide helps urine production, thus flushing the excess water from your body. Most commonly, it is used to treat high blood pressure. It has no serious side effects.
