Midamor (amiloride)
Indications
- Midamor tablets are indicated for the treatment of high blood pressure (hypertension) and heart failure.
- It helps to prevent hypokalemia (low potassium levels) in patients taking diuretics that cause potassium loss.
- Used to manage edema (fluid retention) associated with congestive heart failure, liver cirrhosis, and certain kidney conditions.
Dosage and Administration

- Follow your doctor’s instructions regarding dietary potassium and salt intake while taking Midamor.
- Do not exceed the prescribed dose of Midamor or take it more frequently than directed by your doctor.
- Avoid taking potassium supplements or potassium-containing salt substitutes unless instructed by your doctor.
- Do not stop taking Midamor abruptly without consulting your doctor, as it may worsen your condition.
- Do not share your medication with others, even if they have similar symptoms.
Mechanism of Action
Midamor contains Amiloride, a potassium-sparing diuretic. It works by inhibiting sodium reabsorption in the kidneys, which helps to excrete excess fluid from the body while retaining potassium, thus maintaining a proper electrolyte balance.

- Avoid Midamor if you have hyperkalemia (high potassium levels), kidney impairment, or anuria (inability to produce urine).

Precautions

- Monitor your potassium levels regularly to avoid hyperkalemia, especially if you are also taking other medications that affect potassium levels.
- If you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding, discuss the risks and benefits of Midamor with your healthcare provider.
