Dyazide

Dyazide is a combination of triamterone (50 mg; diuretic) and hydrochlorothiazide (25 mg; antihypertension), but it is most often prescribed to control high blood pressure. Bodybuilders have in the past used dyazide to eliminate excessive water and bloating in order to cut for a contest. The diuretic is potassium sparing so it will not deplete muscle tissue as much as some diuretics will. Potassium supplements or potassium salts should not be used while taking Dyazide. Typically, one to two tablets are used one to two days prior to a bodybuilding competition, but it is advisable to avoid Dyazide where possible. As with many prescription diuretics, adverse reactions can occur leading to death if the diuretic is administered improperly.
