How Amifru 40 Tablet Works
Amifru 40 Tablet combines two active ingredients: Furosemide and Amiloride. Furosemide is a loop diuretic that helps the kidneys remove excess salt and water, which reduces fluid buildup. Amiloride, a potassium-sparing diuretic, helps prevent the loss of potassium while promoting the removal of excess water. Together, they effectively reduce fluid retention and manage symptoms of edema and high blood pressure.
