Information
Frumil LS is a diuretic medication primarily used to manage and treat conditions related to fluid retention and hypertension. It is a combination drug that contains two active ingredients: amiloride hydrochloride and furosemide. Amiloride hydrochloride is a potassium-sparing diuretic that helps prevent the body from absorbing too much salt, thus preventing potassium levels from getting too low. Furosemide, on the other hand, is a loop diuretic that helps rid the body of excess water and salt through urine. Together, these components work synergistically to reduce fluid retention in patients with conditions such as congestive heart failure, liver cirrhosis, and certain kidney disorders, while minimizing the risk of potassium depletion. Frumil LS is typically prescribed when other medications have not been effective, and it is important for patients to closely follow their healthcare provider's instructions to ensure safety and effectiveness.
