About TRIAMTERENE AND HYDROCHLOROTHIAZIDE and its cost

What is this medication? Triamterene and hydrochlorothiazide is a combination of two diuretic medications, often referred to as water pills, used to treat high blood pressure and fluid retention known as edema. This medication is frequently prescribed for individuals who experience swelling caused by conditions such as congestive heart failure, liver cirrhosis, or certain kidney disorders. By helping the body eliminate excess salt and water through increased urine production, it reduces the overall workload on the heart and lowers the pressure within the blood vessels.

The two components work together to manage fluid levels while maintaining a balance of essential minerals. Hydrochlorothiazide is effective at reducing fluid but can cause the body to lose too much potassium, which is a vital mineral for heart and muscle function. Triamterene is a potassium-sparing diuretic that helps prevent the body from losing excessive amounts of potassium during the treatment process. This specific combination is often chosen to help patients maintain a healthy electrolyte balance while effectively managing hypertension and chronic swelling.

TRIAMTERENE AND HYDROCHLOROTHIAZIDE is made by GlaxoSmithKline. Like most brand-name drugs, it's priced at a high list price — but patients rarely pay that list price. The options above are the real paths most people use to get it affordably.

Common questions

What's the cheapest way to afford TRIAMTERENE AND HYDROCHLOROTHIAZIDE?

It depends on your insurance. On Medicare, apply for the manufacturer's Patient Assistance Program (PAP) — it gives the drug free if you meet income requirements. With private insurance, the manufacturer copay card usually drops your copay to $0-$25. Uninsured patients should compare the PAP with Cost Plus Drugs cash price.

Can I use a copay card with Medicare for TRIAMTERENE AND HYDROCHLOROTHIAZIDE?

No — federal law (the Anti-Kickback Statute) prohibits manufacturer copay cards on Medicare, Medicaid, TriCare, and VA prescriptions. But GlaxoSmithKline has a separate Patient Assistance Program for Medicare beneficiaries. Check the options above.

Does my Medicare Part D plan cover TRIAMTERENE AND HYDROCHLOROTHIAZIDE?

Part D coverage varies by plan. We query the CMS Prescription Drug Plan file to show you what percentage of plans cover it and at what tier. For your exact copay, pick "Medicare" above and check your plan's Summary of Benefits, or log in to Medicare.gov.

How long does a Patient Assistance Program take?

Most PAPs take 2-6 weeks from application to first fill. Ask the manufacturer about a "bridge supply" — many will ship 30 days free while your application is being reviewed so you don't go without the drug.

What if I have a high-deductible plan?

For generics, Cost Plus Drugs cash price is often cheaper than your deductible-phase copay. For brand names, the manufacturer copay card almost always wins. A GoodRx coupon can be a last resort for uncovered drugs, but it doesn't count toward your deductible.

Are there charity grants for Hypertension?

Charities like HealthWell Foundation, PAN Foundation, Good Days, and the National Organization for Rare Disorders provide copay help for specific conditions. Funds often run out mid-year — apply early. We list the specific grants for your condition in the options above.
