THERAPEUTIC CLASSIFICATION
Antikaliuretic Agent with Diuretic Properties
ACTION AND CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY
Amiloride Hydrochloride Tablets, USP is an antikaliuretic drug with
mild natriuretic
diuretic and antihypertensive activity. These activities may be
additive to the effects
of thiazides or other saluretic-diuretic agents. The principal use of
Amiloride
Hydrochloride Tablets, USP is to conserve potassium in selected
patients receiving
kaliuretic-diuretic agents. Amiloride Hydrochloride Tablets, USP
interferes with the
mechanism involved in the exchange of sodium for potassium in the
distal
convoluted tubule and collecting duct of the nephron. An increase in
sodium and
a decrease in potassium and hydrogen ion excretion are induced in the
presence
or absence of aldosterone, thereby suggesting a direct tubular action
of the drug.
Chloride excretion may remain unchanged or increase slowly with
continued
therapy.
Amiloride Hydrochloride Tablets, USP when administered with
hydrochlorothiazide
has been shown to result in less excretion of magnesium than thiazide
or loop
diuretics used alone.
