MODURETIC 5 / 50 MG TAB 30 S

Moduretic 5/50 mg Tablets (30 tablets) is a combination medication used primarily to manage hypertension (high blood pressure) and edema (fluid retention) in conditions such as heart failure or kidney disease. It contains two active ingredients. Amiloride (5 mg) - A potassium-sparing diuretic that helps prevent the loss of potassium while promoting the removal of excess water and salt from the body. Hydrochlorothiazide (50 mg) - A thiazide diuretic that works by helping the kidneys remove excess sodium, chloride, and water, which helps reduce blood pressure and fluid buildup. Composition: Active Ingredients: Amiloride Hydrochloride: 5mg.Hydrochlorothiazide: 50 mg. Indications: Moduretic is commonly prescribed for the following conditions: Hypertension (High Blood Pressure): It helps to lower blood pressure by reducing excess fluid and sodium in the body, thus improving heart function and reducing the risk of stroke, heart attack, and kidney problems. Edema (Fluid Retention): It helps reduce fluid buildup caused by conditions like heart failure, liver disease, and kidney disorders. Chronic Heart Failure: By reducing the amount of fluid in the body, it helps improve heart function and alleviate symptoms such as swelling in the legs and abdomen. Mechanism of Action: Amiloride (5 mg): A potassium-sparing diuretic that works in the kidneys by blocking sodium reabsorption while conserving potassium. It helps prevent the loss of potassium that can occur with other types of diuretics. Hydrochlorothiazide (50 mg): A thiazide diuretic that increases the excretion of sodium and water from the body, which helps lower blood pressure and reduces the amount of fluid in tissues, helping with edema.
