AMILZIDE TB 5-50MG

Amilzide TB 5-50mg is a combination medication that contains two active ingredients: amiloride (5mg) and hydrochlorothiazide (50mg). It is used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension) and to manage edema (fluid retention) associated with conditions such as heart failure, liver cirrhosis, or kidney disorders.

• Amiloride is a potassium-sparing diuretic, which means it helps the body get rid of excess salt and water through urine without causing potassium loss.
• Hydrochlorothiazide is a thiazide diuretic that also helps reduce fluid retention by increasing the excretion of sodium and water, but it can cause potassium loss.

The combination of these two medications helps balance potassium levels while effectively reducing fluid buildup and lowering blood pressure. This medication is typically taken once daily, as directed by a healthcare provider. It's important to monitor electrolytes and kidney function regularly while on Amilzide to avoid potential side effects like electrolyte imbalances or dehydration.
