Diuretics are substances which promote excretion of urine from a body and decrease fluid content in tissues and serous sacs of the body. Diuretics cause intensified urination by specific action on kidneys primarily consisting in inhibition of reabsorption of sodium ions in renal tubules accompanied with decrease of water reabsorption. Diuretics are predominantly used in patients with cardiovascular dysfunctions, liver and kidney diseases accompanied with edemas.
Diuretics decrease preload and afterload on heart, eliminate stagnation in internal organs and peripheral edemas.
The effectiveness of their action depends on the nephron segment they influence. One of the most powerful diuretics is Frumil (Amiloride).
Frumil (Amiloride) is a diuretic which causes increased excretion of sodium and chlorine from body. Frumil (Amiloride) is used in patients with hypertension (steady increase of blood pressure) and heart failure. The medicine is generally used with other diuretics. Frumil (Amiloride) increases their diuretic action and decreases the risks of getting hypokalemia (decrease of potassium level in blood). The initial dose of Frumil (Amiloride) is 1 tablet a day which could be increased up to 2 tablets a day. The medicine is usually taken once a day.
