This medication is a combination of two water pills (diuretics): triamterene and hydrochlorothiazide. This combination is used by people who have developed or are at risk for having low potassium levels on hydrochlorothiazide.

This can lessen symptoms such as shortness of breath or swelling in your ankles or feet.
