Frusemide 20mg and Spironolactone 50mg Tablets Uses
This combination medicine is used to treat fluid retention (edema) caused by conditions such as heart failure, liver cirrhosis, or kidney disease. It is also used to manage high blood pressure (hypertension) when a single diuretic is not enough. The two active ingredients work together to remove excess fluid from the body while minimizing potassium loss.
How Frusemide 20mg and Spironolactone 50mg Tablets Works
Frusemide is a loop diuretic that increases urine production by blocking sodium and chloride reabsorption in the kidneys. Spironolactone is a potassium-sparing diuretic that blocks the action of aldosterone, helping the body retain potassium while still removing fluid. Together, they provide effective diuresis with a lower risk of potassium imbalance.
