How do Amiloride and Hydrochlorothiazide work?
This medication contains two FDA approved drugs – Amiloride and Hydrochlorothiazide. Among these, Amiloride works as a potassium-sparing diuretic while Hydrochlorothiazide’s effect is that of a thiazide diuretic. In combination, the two work to make the kidneys eliminate more sodium and water from the body while retaining potassium.
