Bonduretic 5mg/50mg Tablets – 10 Tablets
Bonduretic is a combination diuretic (water pill) used primarily in Nigeria to manage hypertension (high blood pressure) and edema (fluid retention). It is a brand of Amiloride and Hydrochlorothiazide manufactured by Bond Chemical Industries Ltd.
What is Bonduretic used for?
Bonduretic is prescribed to help your body remove excess salt and water. This is essential for:
- Managing High Blood Pressure: Reducing the workload on the heart and preventing strokes or heart attacks.
- Reducing Swelling (Edema): Managing fluid buildup caused by heart failure or liver cirrhosis.
- Maintaining Potassium Levels: The inclusion of Amiloride helps prevent the loss of potassium, a common side effect of other diuretics.
Active Ingredients
Each tablet contains:
- Amiloride Hydrochloride (5mg): A potassium-sparing diuretic.
- Hydrochlorothiazide (50mg): A thiazide diuretic.
Dosage and Administration
For most adults, the standard dosage is one tablet daily, usually taken in the morning with a meal. Taking it in the morning helps prevent the need to wake up during the night to urinate. Always follow the specific dosage instructions from your doctor or consult a GoMed pharmacist.
