Question: I accidentally took two doses of my triamterene/hctz pill. overdose? help!?
i took 2 doses of my triamterene (37.5mg)/hctz (25mg) accidentally and now i'm worried about an overdose! what should i do?

Answers:

This is a combination of two diuretic drugs, in one tablet. It is mostly used as a weak hypertensive for mild hypertension or for edema. Whatever you are using it for, two tablets are not going to make any problem other than that you will pass a little more urine than usual. If you are not very elderly then I don't think it will cause any symptoms. Just drink water to keep up with the output. Don't worry at all.



if you EVER had a pharmaceutical question and an overdose question you must ask the drug dealers themselves...the doctor's!...you need to contact a 24 hour nurse line...in Canada we have telehealth and the nurses are there around the clock and are amazing :http://www.health.gov.on.ca/en/public/pr…

if you're outside of Ontario or Canada then google a 24 hour health number of some sort..

In the mean while..just breathe...calm down...as if you over-think this it will create a panic in your body so just relax and breathe...you will be ok just BREATHE and focus on calling a nurse ASAP



I am not a doctor, but seeing as that is a diuretic. Drink water to keep hydrated and liquids with electrolytes in case you lose too many of those too.

I have no idea whether that is a high dosage.. and how serious it is. Call the poison control center to be on the safe side.



i would call your local hospital, dont call 911 unless you are dieing btw,
just tell them your med's and the dose, and they will tell you whether or not you are in any danger.



you need much more to overdose plus im pretty sure it isn't even a narcotic so dont worry.
