  • TriamcinolonecorticosteroidModerate

    Other Considerations Concurrent use of hydrochlorothiazide with amphotericin B or corticosteroids or corticotropin (ACTH) may intensify electrolyte imbalance, particularly hypokalemia, although the presence of triamterene minimizes the hypokalemic effect. (Triamterene and hydrochlorothiazide label, Drug interactions)

  • Umeclidinium and vilanterolanticholinergicModerate

    Diuretics: Use with caution. (Umeclidinium and vilanterol label, Drug interactions)

  • Valsartan and hydrochlorothiazideangiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB)Moderate

    Other Considerations Concurrent use of hydrochlorothiazide with amphotericin B or corticosteroids or corticotropin (ACTH) may intensify electrolyte imbalance, particularly hypokalemia, although the presence of triamterene minimizes the hypokalemic effect. (Triamterene and hydrochlorothiazide label, Drug interactions)

  • VardenafilPDE5 inhibitorModerate

    Vardenafil hydrochloride tablets can potentiate the hypotensive effects of nitrates, alpha- blockers, and antihypertensives. (Vardenafil label, Drug interactions)

  • Vitamin DVitamin and mineralModerate

    Thiazide diuretics reduce calcium excretion; combined with vitamin D and calcium supplements this can lead to hypercalcemia, especially in older adults. (NIH Office of Dietary Supplements, Vitamin D)

  • VortioxetineantidepressantModerate

    Also, patients taking diuretics or who are otherwise volume-depleted can be at greater risk. (Vortioxetine label, Warnings and precautions)

  • WarfarinanticoagulantModerate

    The effect of oral anticoagulants may be decreased when used concurrently with hydrochlorothiazide; dosage adjustments may be necessary. (Triamterene and hydrochlorothiazide label, Drug interactions)

  • ZiprasidoneantipsychoticModerate

    Hypokalemia may result from diuretic therapy, diarrhea, and other causes. (Ziprasidone label, Warnings and precautions)

  • Midodrinealpha-adrenergic agonistMinor

    …for Drug Interactions It appears possible, although there is no supporting experimental evidence, that the high renal clearance of desglymidodrine (a base) is due to active tubular secretion by the base-secreting system also responsible for the secretion of such drugs as metformin, cimetidine, ranitidine, procainamide, triamterene, flecainide, and quinidine. (Midodrine label, Precautions)
