Monitor for changes in blood pressure and adjust the dose of other antihypertensive drugs if needed.
Monitor diuretic effects of furosemide and adjust the dose of furosemide if needed.
Patients receiving both indomethacin and furosemide should be observed closely to determine if the desired diuretic and/or antihypertensive effect of furosemide is achieved.
From the Triamterene (Dyrenium) label · effective 2024-12-05
Drug Interactions Caution should be used when lithium and diuretics are used concomitantly because diuretic-induced sodium loss may reduce the renal clearance of lithium and increase serum lithium levels with risk of lithium toxicity.
The effects of the following drugs may be potentiated when given together with triamterene: antihypertensive medication, other diuretics, preanesthetic and anesthetic agents, skeletal muscle relaxants (non-depolarizing).
