Diuretic use

[Dr. Shock]

I have a friend getting ready for a show this sunday. He can get hold of both thyazide and aldactone (hard to get dyazide in Europe).

Rather than taking Aldactone exclusively, which can inhibit the re-absorbstion of sodium, would it be ok to take say 25mg of aldactone with 50mg of thyazide the day before the show am and pm?

I've never taken Aldactone but I do prefer potassium sparing things. What exactly is thyazide? Is it similar to Dyazide?

[Dr. Shock]

Its similar to dyazide except it doesnt contain the potassium sparing element that dyazide has.

What's the half life of thyazide? If it's that similar to dyazide then you might want to take it every 4-5hrs, maybe half a pill every 4-5hrs starting sometime on Saturday before the show.

Has your friend taken either of these things, Aldactone or Thyazide before? If so, what was the regiment last time and how did it work out?
