GlossaryAmiloride

medication that helps the body expel excess salt and water

Amiloride is a medication primarily used as a diuretic, which helps the body get rid of excess salt and water by increasing urine production. It is often prescribed to treat high blood pressure and heart failure. Unlike other diuretics, amiloride is potassium-sparing, meaning it helps the body retain potassium, which is crucial for heart and muscle function.
