Brief Answer:
Yes it should be ok, keep some salt sugar water with you

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
No need to worry, it should be alright. Till the time you are not having any symptoms like dizziness, fainting etc, it not worrisome. You keep some ors or salt sugar water along with you and if it falls below it have it around 200 ml. Have some food, if not had.
If dose of triamterine is due to few hours or if bp is less than 100 during due time, you should withhold it's dose.
Hope this helps you and get back if you have any doubts.
