About Biduret -L Tablet

AMILORIDE+HYDROCHLOROTHIAZIDE belongs to the class of medicines known as 'diuretic drugs or water pills', primarily used to treat hypertension (high blood pressure) and oedema (fluid retention). Hypertension is a medical condition, in which the blood exerts high pressure (force exerted by circulating blood) against blood vessel's walls. This condition makes the heart to work harder in pumping the blood to the whole body. Hypertension can cause severe health complications, including stroke, heart failure, heart attack and kidney failure. Oedema is a condition caused by a build-up of fluid and swelling in the ankles, feet and legs.

Medicinal Benefits of Biduret -L Tablet

AMILORIDE+HYDROCHLOROTHIAZIDE prevents the build-up of extra water in the body and treats hypertension (high blood pressure), heart failure, and oedema (fluid retention). AMILORIDE+HYDROCHLOROTHIAZIDE is a combination of medicine that consists of amiloride and hydrochlorothiazide. Amiloride is a 'potassium-sparing diuretic' and treats hypokalemia (low potassium levels in the blood) in people with high blood pressure or congestive heart failure. Hydrochlorothiazide blocks sodium reabsorption from absorbing in the kidneys and increases the excretion of sodium, potassium electrolytes, water, and hydrogen ions. Hydrochlorothiazide effectively treats high blood pressure, fluid retention in patients with congestive heart failure, cirrhosis (chronic damage) of the liver, kidney disorders, or oedema caused by steroids or estrogen therapy. AMILORIDE+HYDROCHLOROTHIAZIDE works by acting on different parts of the kidney to remove extra fluid and certain electrolytes while maintaining the body's potassium balance. AMILORIDE+HYDROCHLOROTHIAZIDE clears the excess fluids in the body in the form of urine.
