Moduretic

amiloride hydrochloride dihydrate, hydrochlorothiazide

Moduretic is a Prescription medicine medicine


Main Indication

MODURETIC is indicated in the treatment of patients with

  • - oedema of cardiac origin;
  • - hepatic cirrhosis with ascites;
  • - hypertension in whom potassium depletion might be anticipated.

MODURETIC, with its combination of amiloride HCl and hydrochlorothiazide, minimises the possibility of the development of excessive potassium loss in patients during vigorous diuresis for prolonged periods. MODURETIC, with its built-in potassium sparing agent, is especially indicated in those conditions where the positive effect on potassium balance is particularly important.

MODURETIC may be used alone, or as an adjunct to other antihypertensive drugs. Since it enhances the action of these agents, the dosage of these antihypertensive drugs may need to be reduced to avoid the risk of an excessive drop in blood pressure.
