Triamterene is a potassium-sparing diuretic that also prevents your body from absorbing too much salt and keeps your potassium levels from getting too low.

Hydrochlorothiazide and triamterene is a combination medicine used to treat fluid retention (edema) and high blood pressure (hypertension).

hydrochlorothiazide and triamterene is usually given to people in whom other diuretics have caused hypokalemia (low potassium levels in your blood).
