Overview
Moduretic 5/50mg Tablets (20 pack) combine two water tablets (diuretics) to treat high blood pressure and fluid retention (oedema). Hydrochlorothiazide 50mg helps the kidneys remove excess salt and water to lower blood pressure and reduce swelling, while amiloride 5mg is a potassium-sparing diuretic that limits the loss of potassium that thiazides can cause. The combination controls blood pressure and oedema while helping keep potassium balanced. A long-established option for patients with hypertension or fluid overload under medical care.
Amiloride hydrochloride 5mg and hydrochlorothiazide 50mg per tablet.
