Amifru 40 Tablet is a prescription medicine used to treat edema, a condition caused by fluid retention in the body. It is a combination of two diuretic medicines that help remove excess fluid and salt through urine. This reduces swelling in the arms, legs, or abdomen and relieves symptoms such as shortness of breath or discomfort. Amifru is especially helpful in conditions like heart failure, liver disease, or kidney problems where fluid builds up abnormally.
This medicine is most effective when taken on an empty stomach, as food can interfere with its absorption. It should be taken at the same time each day to maintain consistent levels in the body. Your doctor will decide the dose based on your condition and response to treatment. Do not stop the medication without medical advice, even if you feel better. Stopping suddenly may bring back symptoms or worsen your condition.

How Amifru 40 Tablet works
Amifru 40 Tablet contains two active ingredients—furosemide and amiloride. These diuretics work on different parts of the kidney. Furosemide helps flush out extra sodium and water quickly. Amiloride helps retain potassium while removing fluid. This combination effectively reduces swelling without causing severe potassium loss. You may notice increased urination soon after taking the tablet. The medicine works best when used regularly. Long-term use may need blood tests to monitor electrolytes. Skipping doses or stopping suddenly can make symptoms return. Always follow your doctor’s instructions for dosage and duration.
