Midamor How to Take

Midamor (Amiloride) belongs to the class of medications called potassium-sparing diuretics (water pills). It is used alone or in combination with a potassium-depleting diuretic (such as Hydrochlorothiazide) to decrease edema (fluid retention) that occurs with Congestive Heart Failure and disorders of the liver. It is also used to lower high blood pressure.

Diuretics work by making the body lose excess water and salt. Midamor (Amiloride) is called a potassium-sparing diuretic because it does not cause potassium to be lost from the body.

Your doctor may have suggested Midamor (Amiloride) for conditions other than the ones listed in these drug information articles. As well, some forms of Midamor (Amiloride) may not be used for all of the conditions discussed here. If you have not discussed this with your doctor or are not sure why you are taking Midamor (Amiloride), speak to your doctor. Do not stop taking Midamor (Amiloride) without consulting your doctor.

Do not give Midamor (Amiloride) to anyone else, even if they have the same symptoms as you do. It can be harmful for people to take Midamor (Amiloride) if their doctor has not prescribed it.
