MAXZIDE  (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.   FDA Approval Date: 1988-05-13 (Sources: U.S. Centers for Medicare Services, FDA)

 5  Slight hypertension/water retention No side effects for me except slight sun sensitivity during summer, have to watch it and wear sunscreen. Was on Maxzide for several years. Doctor took me off of it and told me to take Altace and I took it for 4 days now and feel horrible. I am going back to Maxzide. Altace is horrible. I'm dizzy, tired, short of breath, jittery, felt like I was going to faint a few times, pulse rate is high. Blood pressure is like way low though, so I guess it works for that. F 33 8 years
