Medicine Description moduretic-uae 5/50 mg
moduretic 5/50mg 30 tablets - rosheta uae is a medication that combines two potent diuretics: amiloride, a potassium-sparing diuretic, and hydrochlorothiazide, a thiazide diuretic. Amiloride functions by inhibiting sodium channels in the distal nephron, leading to a decrease in sodium reabsorption and a concurrent retention of potassium. Hydrochlorothiazide acts on the distal convoluted tubule to inhibit sodium and chloride reabsorption, which helps to promote diuresis. This combination allows for effective management of fluid retention while minimizing the loss of potassium, addressing the dual concerns of hypertension and edema.
