Salt Composition
Amiloride 5.00 mg + Hydrochlorothiazide 50.00 mg
Product Description
BIDURET is a fixed dose combination medication that contains Hydrochlorothiazide and Amiloride. Hydrochlorothiazide is a thiazide diuretic that works by reducing the amount of water in the body, thus lowering blood pressure. Amiloride is a potassium-sparing diuretic that helps to prevent the body from absorbing too much salt and keeps potassium levels from getting too low. This combination helps to manage fluid balance and control high blood pressure. BIDURET is commonly prescribed for the treatment of hypertension, edema (fluid retention), and congestive heart failure. It helps to reduce swelling and improve overall cardiovascular health.
