Yostiretic 30 tablets

LolTrade name:

Yostiretic

30 tablets

Composition:

Each tablet contains:

Amiloride HCl 5 mg.

Hydrochlorothiazide 50 mg.

Properties:

Yostiretic is a diuretic and antihypertensive, combining the potent natriuretic action of hydrochlorothiazide with the potassium-conserving property of amiloride HCl.

Pharmacological Actions:

Hydrochlorothiazide reduces the reabsorption of electrolytes from renal tubules, thereby increasing the excretion of sodium, chloride, potassium, magnesium and consequently water. The onset of action after oral administration occurs in 2 hours and reaches a peak effect in about 4 hours.

Amiloride HCl is a mild diuretic acting on distal renal tubules. It is described as a potassium-sparing agent (antikaliuretic) because it increases the excretion of sodium, chloride, and reduces the potassium excretion.

Precautions:

Caution should be exercised when using Yostiretic in patients with impaired liver functions, diabetes mellitus or respiratory and metabolic acidosis.

Indications:

Hypertension

Edema of cardiac origin

Hepatic cirrhosis with ascites and edema

In patients under vigorous diuretic treatment for prolonged periods (to minimize the development of hypokalemia, or excessive potassium loss)
