Maxzide-25
Maxzide-25 is a combination medication that contains triamterene and hydrochlorothiazide. It is primarily used to treat hypertension (high blood pressure) and to manage edema (fluid retention) associated with conditions such as heart failure and certain kidney disorders. The combination of a potassium-sparing diuretic (triamterene) and a thiazide diuretic (hydrochlorothiazide) helps control blood pressure while minimizing potassium loss.

Comprehensive Drug Guide
How Does Maxzide-25 Work?
- Hydrochlorothiazide works by inhibiting sodium reabsorption in the distal convoluted tubules of the kidneys, leading to increased excretion of sodium and water, which helps lower blood pressure and reduce edema.
- Triamterene acts on the renal tubules to inhibit sodium reabsorption while sparing potassium, thus reducing the risk of hypokalemia (low potassium levels) often associated with thiazide diuretics.
Common Dosages
- Tablets: Each tablet contains 25 mg of hydrochlorothiazide and 37.5 mg of triamterene.
Typical Dosing
- The usual recommended dose is one tablet taken once daily, preferably in the morning to avoid nocturia (frequent urination at night).
Typical Dosing
FDA Approved Indications
- Hypertension: treatment of high blood pressure in adults.
- Edema: management of fluid retention in patients with conditions such as heart failure or nephrotic syndrome.
Who Shouldn't Take Maxzide-25?
- Known hypersensitivity to triamterene, hydrochlorothiazide, or any component of the formulation.
- Anuria (failure of the kidneys to produce urine).
- Severe renal impairment or electrolyte imbalance.
Advice From The Pharmacist
- Take Maxzide-25 in the morning with food to improve absorption and reduce the risk of gastrointestinal upset.

- Blood Pressure Monitoring: Caution should be taken when transitioning from other antihypertensive medications.
Interactions with Maxzide-25
Common Drug Interactions
- Other Diuretics: Use caution when combining with other diuretics due to the risk of dehydration and electrolyte imbalances.
