Triamterene Hctz 37 5 25 - Is This Drug Still Being Made

Updated

I heard triamtere was no longer being made. Is this so? I take triamterene 37.5/25. Is this still available? Works well for me.

It works well for me too. My pharmacist just told me the same thing and I cannot find out why.

There had been an unexplained shortage of this medication reported to the FDA and it was reported by all current manufacturers. They did estimate that it would start being available, again, by the end of April, but this seems not to have happened.

The only thing that I can suggest would be talking to your doctor about using an alternative medication.

One that is very similar is Aldactazide, which contains Spironolactone and Hydrochlorothiazide:

Are there any other questions or comments?

I have Bi-polar disorder and Major Depressive Disorder - Spironolactone does not appear to be a good thing for me.

Yes, it has been known to interfere with antidepressants and their effectiveness in the body.

In this case, I can only suggest you discuss the availability problem with your doctor, so they can help you find an alternative medication.

the medicine, triamt/hctz, is not longer available here in the states. The pharmacist told me one of the ingredients is no longer being made, and they might try to get it in another country, I take it too, but will ask for an alternative, unless they can get it from Canada.
