Product Description

Amuretic 2 is a potassium-sparing and thiazide diuretic combination used to help eliminate excess fluid from the body while maintaining normal potassium levels. It works by promoting urine production (diuresis), reducing swelling and blood pressure caused by fluid retention.

Each tablet combines two complementary agents:

• 
  

  Hydrochlorothiazide (thiazide diuretic): increases sodium and water excretion.

  
  


• 
  

  Amiloride (potassium-sparing diuretic): prevents potassium loss.

  
  

Product Uses (Indications)

Amuretic 2 is indicated for:

• 
  

  Essential hypertension (high blood pressure).

  
  


• 
  

  Edema (fluid retention) due to congestive heart failure, liver cirrhosis, or corticosteroid therapy.

  
  


• 
  

  Prevention of hypokalemia (low potassium) in patients who develop it during treatment with thiazides alone.
