DYAZIDE  (HYDROCHLOROTHIAZIDE; TRIAMTERENE):  This drug is used to treat high blood pressure. Lowering high blood pressure helps prevent strokes, heart attacks, and kidney problems. This medication is a combination of two "water pills" (diuretics): triamterene and hydrochlorothiazide. This combination is used by people who have developed or are at risk for having low potassium levels on hydrochlorothiazide. It causes you to make more urine, which helps your body get rid of extra salt and water. This medication also reduces extra fluid in the body (edema) caused by conditions such as heart failure, liver disease, or kidney disease. This can lessen symptoms such as shortness of breath or swelling in your ankles or feet.    (Sources: U.S. Centers for Medicare Services, FDA)

 4  high blood pressure No side effects other than dry mouth and it makes me urinate A LOT for about 4-6 hours after I take my pill. This intereferes with traveling or going places so I try to take it after dinner, but way before bedtime. If you take it too late in the evening, you'll be up all night going to the bathroom every hour. If I don't take it, I retain water and my hands and feet get very puffy. I feel bloated and get irritable, becuase my BP goes up. I feel much better on it. F 47 4 years

 2  high blood pressure Extreme dryness in mouth, nose & eyes. Eyes burn and are blood shot. I've been taking dyazide for almost 4 weeks. I didn't know if the eye problem was related so I stopped taking it for a few days and eyes felt fine. Took one yesterday and dryness in eyes returned. Guess it's the Dyazide. F 46 4 weeks

 3  as needed for ankle puffiness I took one pill in the AM and for some reason by PM, I was falling alsleep at the dinner table. Went to bed early and my big toes were tingling and I was restless. I also had taken 2 Advil at noon so so not know if this was a side effect of one drug or the combination of the two. F 60 1 times

 5  HI BP Low grade headache? Had been taking 25mg along with Accupril, Lopressor and Norvasc with poor results. After double my dosage of Dyazide my BP is now very good. Just wondered if it could cause the headache. 50 2 years

 3  High Blood Pressure Frequent urination (water pill) BP had been falling in the "borderline" area for about a year. Dr put me on Dyazide in hope it would control BP. Now Dr added ALTACE (ramipril) because BP recently got higher. Will see if combo of both works. M 38 1 years
