Can Triamterene be taken while taking predinsone? to help with the water retention and weight gain.

sorry to be on this kick again with the weight issues. I just predinisone causes so much weight gain and other problems.

I am just having a lot of aniexty right now. Not really knowing what's wrong with me.

I have to have this lung biopsy and just worried/concern about outcome.

Thanks Kay

Kay,

There is a moderate risk of interaction according to this website:

http://www.drugs.com/interactions-check

You can type in your meds and then check for drug interactions. When I added

yours just now, it came back with this:

Interactions between your selected drugs

prednisone & #8596; triamterene

Applies to: prednisone, triamterene

MONITOR: Corticosteroids may antagonize the effects of antihypertensive

medications by causing sodium and fluid retention. These effects may be more

common with the natural corticosteroids (cortisone, hydrocortisone) because they

have greater mineralocorticoid activity. In addition, some calcium channel

blockers such as diltiazem and verapamil may increase corticosteroid plasma

levels and effects by inhibiting their clearance via CYP450 3A4 metabolism.

MANAGEMENT: Patients on prolonged (i.e., longer than about a week) or high-dose

corticosteroid therapy should have blood pressure, electrolyte levels, and body

weight monitored regularly, and be observed for the development of edema and

congestive heart failure. The dosages of antihypertensive medications may

require adjustment.

Other drugs that your selected drugs interact with

* prednisone interacts with more than 300 other drugs.

* triamterene interacts with more than 200 other drugs.

Interactions between your selected drugs and food

No results found - however, this does not necessarily mean no interactions

exist. ALWAYS consult with your doctor or pharmacist.

I don't know but if you go to http://www.drugs.com/drug_interactions.html it will allow you to enter all of your drugs and tell you if there is any adverse reactions.

With any diuretic you need to be REALLY careful of an electrlyte imbalance. Particularly low potassium. Prednisone greatly increases your risk of hypokalemia (Low potassium) I have been hospitalized several times for critically low potassium and a boat load of other issues because of it.

I had to take potassium pills a few years ago. I felt horrible until I found out what was going on. Take care of yourself on prednisone.To: asthma Sent: Wed, June 23, 2010 4:26:15 PMSubject: Re: Re: predinisone &
