Dyrenium (Cont.)

When and How to Take Dyrenium

General considerations for when and how to take Dyrenium include the following:
 
  • The medication comes in capsule form. It is usually taken by mouth twice a day after meals.
     
  • Dyrenium should be taken at the same times each day to maintain an even level in your blood. However, some people do not need to take it every day, especially those who are taking the medication for fluid retention.
     
  • Because Dyrenium increases urination, it is best to take your last dose of the day before 6 p.m. (to avoid needing to get up to use the bathroom throughout the night), unless your healthcare provider instructs you otherwise.
     
  • For the medication to work properly, it must be taken as prescribed. Dyrenium will not work if you stop taking it.
     

Dosing Information for Dyrenium

The dose of Dyrenium that your healthcare provider recommends will vary, depending on a number of factors, including:
 
  • Other medical conditions you may have
  • Other medications you may be taking
  • How you respond to Dyrenium.
     
As with any medication, do not adjust your dose unless your healthcare provider specifically instructs you to do so.

Side Effects of Dyrenium

As with any medicine, side effects are possible with Dyrenium. However, not everyone who takes the drug will experience side effects. In fact, most people tolerate it well. If side effects do occur, in most cases, they are minor and either require no treatment or can easily be treated by you or your healthcare provider. Serious side effects are less common.
