Is triamterene medication the same as hydralazine medication?
No, they are not the same. They do, however, treat hypertension, but in different ways. Triamterene (HCTZ, or hydrochlorithiazide) is a potassium-sparing diuretic. It helps to eliminate excess fluids through the kidneys and urine, thereby decreasing the blood pressure. Hydralazine is a vasodilator, which will allow the blood to flow more easily, but is only a temporary fix without the diuretic. They are commonly used together to treat pernicious hypertension.

Is it safe to eat grapefruit while taking triamterene hctz?
If you take amlodipine -- or any other kind of calcium channel blocker -- do not take them with grapefruit, grapefruit juice or grapefruit dietary supplements, because serious, possibly fatal, reactions may occur. Grapefruit inhibits your CYP34A enzyme, a protein that helps your body metabolize drugs. When your body fails to properly metabolize drugs, you may end up with more of amlodipine in your system than intended, causing an accidental overdose. Some drugs -- and some people -- react more strongly than others to the effect of grapefruit on your CYP34A enzyme.
