Description: Moduretic is a combination "water pill" containing two distinct diuretics: Amiloride Hydrochloride (5mg) and Hydrochlorothiazide (50mg). This combination is specifically designed to remove excess salt and water from the body through the urine while minimizing the loss of potassium, a vital mineral. While Hydrochlorothiazide helps lower blood pressure and reduce swelling, Amiloride acts as a "potassium-sparing" agent to prevent the common side effect of potassium depletion associated with other diuretics.
In Nigeria, Moduretic is a widely trusted treatment for managing high blood pressure and edema (fluid retention). It is available through established health providers like Sanlive Pharmacy, ensuring you receive genuine medication that is properly stored to maintain its chemical stability and clinical effectiveness.
Important: Moduretic is a prescription-only medication. It must be taken under the supervision of a doctor who will monitor your kidney function and electrolyte levels (especially potassium). Do not take potassium supplements or use salt substitutes containing potassium while on this medication unless specifically instructed by your physician.
Moduretic Tablets are primarily used to:
Treat Hypertension (high blood pressure) to reduce the risk of cardiovascular events
Manage Edema (swelling) associated with congestive heart failure or hepatic cirrhosis
Reduce fluid buildup in the abdomen (ascites) caused by liver disease
Prevent Hypokalemia (low potassium levels) which can occur when using other types of diuretics
Provide a balanced approach to fluid removal while maintaining electrolyte harmony
This product is suitable for:
Adults with high blood pressure who require a combination diuretic therapy
Patients with heart failure experiencing swelling in the ankles, legs, or lungs
Individuals with liver cirrhosis who struggle with significant fluid retention
Patients who are prone to low potassium levels when taking standard diuretics
Not recommended for: Individuals with high potassium levels (hyperkalemia), severe kidney disease, or those unable to pass urine (anuria). It is contraindicated in patients with a known allergy to sulfonamide-derived drugs. Diabetic patients should use this with caution as it may affect blood sugar levels.
Take the tablet exactly as prescribed by your doctor, usually once daily in the morning
Taking it in the morning helps prevent the need to wake up during the night to urinate
Swallow the tablet whole with a full glass of water; it can be taken with or without food
Avoid excessive salt intake, as this can counteract the medication's ability to remove fluid
Keep all laboratory appointments for blood tests to check your potassium and kidney function
Most side effects are related to the shift in fluids and electrolytes:
Common: Dizziness or lightheadedness (especially when standing up quickly), headache, and fatigue
Metabolic: Increased sensitivity to sunlight (photosensitivity) and mild nausea
Occasional: Muscle cramps or dry mouth due to mild dehydration
Serious: Seek immediate medical attention if you experience signs of high potassium (irregular heartbeat, muscle weakness) or severe allergic reactions

Will I urinate more often?
Yes. Because Moduretic is a diuretic, its primary job is to remove excess fluid via your kidneys. You will likely notice an increase in the frequency and volume of urination, especially during the first few days of treatment.
Can I take this with my other blood pressure medications?
Moduretic is often used alongside other blood pressure drugs like ACE inhibitors or Beta-blockers. However, some combinations can significantly raise potassium levels, so your doctor must review your full medication list.
Is it safe during pregnancy?
Diuretics like Moduretic are generally avoided during pregnancy unless absolutely necessary, as they can affect blood flow to the placenta. Consult your obstetrician if you are pregnant or planning to conceive.
