Product Description

Indications:


This combination is used in essential hypertension, chronic congestive heart failure, hepatic cirrhosis with ascites, edema due to fluid retention, hyperaldosteronism and resistant edema associated with secondary hyperaldosteronism.


Pharmacology:


Furosemide is a loop diuretic that increases excretion of sodium, chloride and water, leading to fluid loss. Spironolactone is a potassium-sparing diuretic that blocks aldosterone, promoting sodium excretion while conserving potassium. Together, they provide a synergistic diuretic effect while reducing potassium loss.


Dosage and Administration:


Dose depends on patient condition and response.

Typical dose: 1–4 tablets daily (Furosemide 20–80 mg and Spironolactone 50–200 mg).

Higher strength tablets may be used in stabilized patients. Not recommended for children. Use with caution in elderly.


Drug Interactions:


Risk of hyperkalemia increases with ACE inhibitors or potassium supplements. May increase digoxin toxicity. NSAIDs may reduce effectiveness. Furosemide may increase ototoxicity with aminoglycosides.


Contraindications:


Contraindicated in anuria, severe renal impairment, hyperkalemia, Addison’s disease and hypersensitivity to the components.


Side Effects:


Possible effects include headache, dizziness, gastrointestinal upset, electrolyte imbalance (especially potassium changes), dehydration and hormonal effects such as gynecomastia and menstrual irregularities.


Pregnancy and Lactation:


Use only if benefits outweigh risks. Both drugs may pass into breast milk; breastfeeding is not recommended during treatment.


Precautions and Warnings:


Use cautiously in patients with electrolyte imbalance, diabetes, hypotension or prostate enlargement. Monitor fluid and electrolyte levels regularly.


Therapeutic Class:


Diuretic Combination (Loop + Potassium-Sparing)


Storage Conditions:


Store below 30°C, protect from light and moisture, and keep out of reach of children.


⚠️ Use under the supervision of a registered healthcare professional.
