DYAZIDE vs TRICHLORMETHIAZIDE
Comparing the clinical profiles, pharmacokinetic behaviors, and safety indices of these two therapeutic agents.
Dyazide is a combination of hydrochlorothiazide, a thiazide diuretic that inhibits the Na+/Cl- cotransporter in the distal convoluted tubule, reducing sodium and water reabsorption; and triamterene, a potassium-sparing diuretic that blocks epithelial sodium channels in the collecting duct, reducing potassium excretion.
Inhibits sodium-chloride symporter in distal convoluted tubule, increasing excretion of sodium, chloride, and water.
1-2 capsules orally once daily; each capsule contains hydrochlorothiazide 25 mg and triamterene 50 mg.
2-4 mg orally once daily; maximum 4 mg/day.

Triamterene: 1.5–2.5 hours; hydrochlorothiazide: 6–15 hours. Clinical dosing typically once daily.
Clinical Note
moderateTrichlormethiazide + Digoxin
"The risk or severity of adverse effects can be increased when Trichlormethiazide is combined with Digoxin."
Clinical Note
moderateTrichlormethiazide + Digitoxin
"The risk or severity of adverse effects can be increased when Trichlormethiazide is combined with Digitoxin."
Clinical Note
moderateTrichlormethiazide + Deslanoside
"The risk or severity of adverse effects can be increased when Trichlormethiazide is combined with Deslanoside."
Clinical Note
moderateTerminal elimination half-life is approximately 2-6 hours (average 3.5 h); clinical context: short half-life necessitates once or twice daily dosing for sustained diuresis.
Renal: triamterene ~80% (as metabolites and parent), hydrochlorothiazide >95% unchanged.
Primarily renal (tubular secretion); ~70% excreted unchanged in urine; minor biliary/fecal (<10% total).
