About Amifru Plus Tablet

Amifru Plus Tablet belongs to a class of medicine called 'diuretics (water pills) primarily used to remove excess water from the body. It also keeps the potassium level in the bloodstream stable and prevents hypertension (high blood pressure caused by oedema/fluid retention). Oedema, also known as fluid overload, occurs due to the build-up of fluid in spaces between the cells. Shortness of breath, chest pain (angina), abnormal heart rhythms (arrhythmia), and swelling in hands or abdominal areas are the symptoms of oedema.

Amifru Plus Tablet is a combination that includes Amiloride and Torsemide. Amiloride and Torsemide are both diuretics that are used to treat resistant oedema (fluid overload) caused by pulmonary hypertension (high blood pressure in the lungs), heart failure, and hepatic cirrhosis (chronic liver damage). Amifru Plus Tablet works by increasing the amount of urine excreted by the kidneys. It effectively treats oedema (swelling) caused by heart, liver, kidney, or lung disease by reducing excess fluid levels in the body. This reduces the workload on the heart and makes it more efficient at pumping blood throughout the body. As a result, it also helps lower high blood pressure, lowering the chances of a future heart attack, stroke, or angina (chest pain).

You can take Amifru Plus Tablet with or without food. Take it preferably during the day to avoid frequent urination at night. Swallow it as a whole with water. It should not be chewed, crushed, or broken. Based on your medical condition, your doctor will advise on how frequently you should take Amifru Plus Tablet . In some cases, you may experience dehydration, electrolyte disturbances (potassium and sodium), headache, nausea, or dizziness. Most of the side effects do not necessitate medical attention and fade away over time. However, if the side effects persist, consult your doctor.

Inform your doctor if you have kidney, liver, or heart disease. Please notify your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Inform your doctor if you are taking any other medications or if you are allergic to Amifru Plus Tablet . Amifru Plus Tablet is not recommended for children below 12 years of age.
