Furosemide: A powerful diuretic (water pill) that helps your body get rid of excess fluid by increasing urine production.

Amiloride: A potassium-sparing diuretic that works by helping your body hold onto potassium while getting rid of excess sodium and water.

High blood pressure (hypertension)

Fluid retention (edema) caused by heart failure, liver disease, or kidney problems

Fluid retention in pregnant women (preeclampsia)

Some types of kidney disease

Furosemide and amiloride work together to effectively remove excess fluid from the body without significantly depleting potassium levels. Furosemide increases urine production by blocking the reabsorption of sodium and chloride in the kidneys, leading to increased water excretion. Amiloride helps prevent potassium loss by blocking the exchange of sodium for potassium in the kidneys.
