Synonyms: Amyloride, Biduret, Dihydrochlorurit, Dihydroxychlorothiazidum, Hydrochlorothiazid, Hydrochlorthiazide
Moduretic is used for treating fluid retention (edema) and high blood pressure. It may be used alone or with other medicines. Moduretic is a diuretic (water pill) and is a combination of a potassium-sparing diuretic (amiloride) and a thiazide diuretic (hydrochlorothiazide). It works by making the kidneys eliminate sodium (salt) and water from the body, which helps to lower blood pressure. The amiloride component helps minimize potassium loss.
