Co-amilozide
4.1 Therapeutic indications
Co-amilozide is indicated in patients with hypertension, congestive heart failure, or hepatic cirrhosis with ascites, in whom potassium depletion might be anticipated. Amiloride hydrochloride in co-amilozide minimises the possibility of excessive potassium loss during vigorous diuresis for long term therapy. Co-amilozide is particularly indicated in conditions where potassium balance is important, eg patients with congestive heart failure receiving digitalis.
