Frasilactone
FRUSEMIDE+SPIRONOLACTONE contains a short-acting diuretic (frusemide) and a long-acting aldosterone antagonist (spironolactone). It is prescribed to treat resistant oedema (fluid overload) associated with secondary hyperaldosteronism (chronic congestive cardiac failure and hepatic cirrhosis). FRUSEMIDE+SPIRONOLACTONE works by increasing the amount of urine that is passed out from the kidneys. It effectively reduces excess fluid levels in the body and treats oedema (swelling) associated with heart, liver, kidney, or lung disease. FRUSEMIDE+SPIRONOLACTONE effectively reduces the workload on the heart and makes the heart more efficient at pumping blood throughout the body. Thus, it helps lower high blood pressure, reducing the chances of heart attack, stroke, or angina (chest pain) in the future.
You can take FRUSEMIDE+SPIRONOLACTONE with food or without food. It should be swallowed whole with a glass of water. Do not chew, crush, or break it. Your doctor will advise you how often you take FRUSEMIDE+SPIRONOLACTONE based on your medical condition. In some cases, you may experience low blood pressure (hypotension), dehydration, electrolyte disturbances (potassium and sodium), headache, nausea, or dizziness. Most of these side effects of FRUSEMIDE+SPIRONOLACTONE do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects are persistent, reach out to your doctor.
