Similar, in that they are both used as diuretics, but they are from
different classes and work by different physiological mechanisms. NPS On Sat, 13 Jan 2007 23:52:05 GMT, "Mike" >Is Spironolactone same as Triamterene?

Do you mean Triamterene does not block aldosterone, but works differently?

Yes.
"Triamterene has a unique mode of action; it inhibits the reabsorption of sodium ions in exchange for potassium and hydrogen ions at that segment of the distal tubule under the control of adrenal mineralocorticoids (especially aldosterone). This activity is not directly related to aldosterone secretion or antagonism; it is a result of a direct effect on the renal tubule." (from: www.rxlist.com/cgi/generic/triamterine_cp.htm - Clinical Pharmacology tab). The same site can give information on Spironolactone for comparison (www.rxlist.com/cgi/generic/spiron_cp.htm).
