Midamor, amilorideChemical NamesAmiloride Ingredients Active Ingredients: amiloride Non-Active Ingredients: calcium phosphate, D&C Yellow 10, iron oxide, lactose, magnesium stearate and starch. Indications Midamor, in conjunction with thiazide diuretics or other kaliuretic-diuretic agents, is indicated in the treatment of hypertension (high blood pressure), congestive heart failure, and hypokalemia (potassium deficiency). Midamor should only be used alone when persistent hypokalemia has been documented, and only with very careful titration of the dose and monitoring of the effects. How It Works Amiloride is a potassium-sparing diuretic that encourages the release of salt and water from the bloodstream, but without depleting potassium levels. Dosage Available tablet sizes: 5 mg The standard dosage is one 5 mg tablet daily, in addition to the usual dosage of a kaliuretic diuretic such as a thiazide. If necessary, this dosage may be increased to 10 mg daily, under careful screening. If necessary, the dosage may be increased up to 20 mg daily. Midamor should be taken with food to minimize nausea. If Midamor must be taken alone, a single daily dose of 5 mg is the standard starting dosage. This may be increased to 10 mg, or even up to 20 mg daily, though the effectiveness of doses larger than 10 mg daily has not been established. Careful monitoring of serum electrolyte levels should be maintained throughout a stand-alone Midamor regimen. In general, Midamor should not be taken alone, but in conjunction with a diuretic of the thiazide class. Used by itself, Midamor (and other potassium-sparing diuretics) poses an increased risk of hyperkalemia (potassium overabundancy). Consult a doctor for the correct combination and dosage of diuretics you should be taking. Do not stop taking this drug without a doctor’s consent. Consult a doctor before taking Midamor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, if you are allergic to any of its ingredients, or if you have a history of diabetes, kidney disease (especially metabolic acidosis), liver disease, or any drug allergies. Do not consume alcohol while taking Midamor. When taking Midamor, take care to avoid eating large amounts of foods rich in potassium, including bananas, baked potatoes, cantaloupe, avocado, raisins, cooked spinach, salt substitutes, and others. If an illness causes severe vomiting or diarrhea, the fluid balance in your body can be upset. This drug may cause dizziness. When taking Midamor, do not stand up too quickly, and exercise caution when operating heavy machinery. Drug Interactions Consult a doctor before taking Midamor if you are taking angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors (i.e.: captopril, lisinopril), angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs such as losartan and valsartan), digoxin, lithium, potassium supplements, triamterene, spironolactone, medication for arthritis, diabetes medications, or any other high blood pressure drugs.
