This potassium-sparing diuretic helps the kidneys remove excess fluid from the body without causing the loss of potassium, and is used to treat fluid retention (edema) related to heart failure, liver disease, or kidney disease, often in combination with another diuretic. Unlike most diuretics that cause potassium loss, triamterene helps retain potassium, so potassium supplements or potassium-rich foods should be avoided. Kidney function and potassium levels need regular monitoring.
