Amilzide® Tablets for Hypertension and Edema

Amilzide is a prescription diuretic tablet for high blood pressure and edema. It combines a potassium-sparing agent with a thiazide to help manage fluids and potassium balance. With US delivery from Canada, this page explains uses, safety, and how to place your order, including options without insurance.

What Amilzide Is and How It Works

Amilzide® combines amiloride, a potassium-sparing diuretic, with hydrochlorothiazide, a thiazide diuretic. The pair helps your body remove extra salt and water while limiting potassium loss. This can support blood pressure control and reduce swelling. YouDrugstore is a licensed Canadian pharmacy in Manitoba. Pharmacists review prescriptions before dispensing.

Amiloride blocks sodium channels in the kidney’s distal tubule, reducing sodium reabsorption and potassium excretion. Hydrochlorothiazide reduces sodium and chloride reabsorption upstream, which increases urine output. Together, the combination may improve fluid balance with a lower risk of low potassium than a thiazide alone. For background on fluid balance and diuretics, see Fluids Balance. Conditions commonly treated include Hypertension and Edema.

Who It’s For

This medicine is used in adults for hypertension or edema when a potassium-sparing component is considered appropriate. It may be chosen when low potassium has occurred with thiazide therapy, or when a prescriber wants to lower that risk. People with severe kidney impairment, high potassium, or who use potassium supplements or potassium salt substitutes may need a different approach. Those with a history of sulfonamide allergy should discuss thiazide-related risks with a clinician. For broader context on treatment approaches, review Treat Hypertension.

Dosage and Usage

Follow your prescriber’s directions on dose and schedule. Many adults take one dose in the morning to reduce nocturia. Take with water and swallow whole. Food is optional unless your clinician advises otherwise. Stay hydrated as directed. Your care team may check blood pressure and labs and adjust therapy over time.

Do not use potassium supplements or potassium salt substitutes unless your prescriber has approved them. Limit alcohol, which can intensify dizziness. Stand up slowly to reduce lightheadedness. If you start new medicines, confirm compatibility first. Some adults may need additional blood pressure therapies from the Cardiovascular category based on goals and comorbidities.

Labeling commonly describes use of Amiloride HCTZ 5-50 mg tablets for select cases; your prescriber decides if this combination is appropriate. Always follow the official product information they reference.

Strengths and Forms

This combination is supplied as oral tablets. Commonly published strength is one tablet containing amiloride 5 mg and hydrochlorothiazide 50 mg. Availability can vary by manufacturer and market.

Ask your prescriber or pharmacist which presentations are currently stocked. When suitable, some patients may use Amilzide 5-50 mg tablets as part of a broader hypertension plan.

Missed Dose and Timing

If you miss a dose, take it when you remember unless it is close to the next one. If it is near the next dose, skip the missed dose and resume your schedule. Do not double up. Because it increases urination, many people avoid late-evening dosing to reduce sleep disruption. If you have frequent nighttime urination, discuss timing with your prescriber.

Storage and Travel Basics

Store tablets at typical room temperature, away from excess moisture and light. Keep the bottle tightly closed and out of children’s reach. For travel, carry the original labeled container and a copy of your prescription. Pack enough for the full trip plus a small buffer. Avoid leaving medicine in a hot car or in direct sun. If you use a weekly pill box, keep the remainder sealed. For refills or questions during travel, encrypted checkout and support are available through our site.

Benefits

This treatment may help lower blood pressure and reduce fluid-related swelling. The combination can limit potassium loss compared to a thiazide alone, which may reduce additional supplementation needs in select patients. Once-daily dosing can simplify routines, and the class is well known to prescribers managing chronic cardiovascular conditions.

Side Effects and Safety

• More frequent urination
• Dizziness or lightheadedness
• Headache
• Nausea or stomach upset
• Muscle cramps or weakness
• Fatigue
• Rash or photosensitivity

Serious effects can include high potassium, low sodium, significant dehydration, kidney changes, or severe allergic reactions. Stop the medicine and seek care if you have fainting, irregular heartbeat, severe weakness, swelling of the face or throat, or trouble breathing. People with diabetes or gout should review monitoring plans, as thiazides can affect glucose and uric acid. If you also use insulin or other antihypertensives, your prescriber may want closer observation.

Drug Interactions and Cautions

Tell your clinician about all medicines and supplements. Notable interactions may involve ACE inhibitors, ARBs, aliskiren, NSAIDs, lithium, and potassium products. Combining multiple blood pressure agents can increase dizziness or hypotension. Avoid high-potassium salt substitutes unless your prescriber approves. If you have kidney or liver disease, or a history of sulfonamide reactions, discuss risks before starting. Review the official label for detailed interaction information.

What to Expect Over Time

Increased urination often appears early. Blood pressure improvements may evolve with consistent use and lifestyle support. Your clinician may request periodic lab checks to assess electrolytes and kidney function. Keeping a home blood pressure log, using the medicine at the same time daily, and maintaining hydration as directed can help your team evaluate progress and make adjustments if needed.

Compare With Alternatives

Other prescription diuretic options may fit specific needs. A potassium-sparing and thiazide alternative is Triazide®, which pairs triamterene with hydrochlorothiazide. For patients who require combination therapy for blood pressure and cholesterol, a non-diuretic option is Caduet® under prescriber guidance. Your clinician will match treatment to your history, labs, and goals.
