Can Taking Triamterene 37 5 25 Daily Cause Vasculitis (Top voted first)

Updated

Have been dignosed with vasculitis. Am told my triamterene may have caused it.
Have been taking triamterne 37.5/25 for many years with no problem. Vasculitis
occurred approx 2 years ago. Any association? Doctor can find no other reason
for my vasculitis in both ankles.

Hello, Vetolia! How are you? I'm sorry about the problem that you're having.

Yes, this medication has been known to cause vasculitis in some people that take it, as listed by the FDA. Other possible side effects may include nausea, dizziness, dry cough, increased urination and hypotension.

Regardless of how long you've taken something, it's always possible to suddenly experience a new reaction or complication, because our bodies do change with time.

Is there anything else I can help with?

I have the same problem. I developed Vasculitis from taking Triamterene. If you discontinue taking it will the vasculitis go away? I constantly have petechia on my legs from toe to hip and they just itch and burn like bees are stinging me.
