Moduretic is a prescription medication used to treat the symptoms of high blood pressure (hypertension) by helping the body get rid of excess fluids and salt. The active ingredients in Moduretic, amiloride and hydrochlorothiazide, are a combination of potassium-sparing and thiazide diuretics, respectively. This combination helps to reduce fluid buildup and lower blood pressure in patients with hypertension.
Amiloride works by stopping the reabsorption of salt in the kidneys, while hydrochlorothiazide increases the amount of salt and water passed in the urine. The potassium-sparing effect of amiloride helps to minimize the loss of potassium that could be caused by hydrochlorothiazide. Overall, Moduretic helps to regulate the balance of fluids and electrolytes in the body and reduce excess fluid retention and hypertension.
Moduretic comes in the form of tablet that should be taken orally with food, as directed by a doctor, usually once or twice a day. Take the tablet at least 4 hours before bedtime to avoid the need to wake up to urinate. If you have any questions about how or when to take this medication, consult your doctor or pharmacist.
The dosage of Moduretic is determined by your medical condition and response to the treatment. Take Moduretic regularly to receive the maximum benefits. To help remember, take it at the same time every day. Even if you feel well, continue taking the tablet; most people with high blood pressure do not feel sick.
If you also use bile acid-binding resins like cholestyramine or colestipol to lower your cholesterol, take Moduretic at least 4 hours before or 4 to 6 hours after these medications. Inform your doctor if your condition does not improve or gets worse, such as if your blood pressure readings remain high or increase.
