Amifru 40 Tablet is used to treat hypertension (high blood pressure) and oedema (fluid retention). Hypertension is a medical condition in which the blood exerts high pressure (force exerted by circulating blood) against blood vessel's walls. This condition makes the heart work harder to pump blood into the whole body. Hypertension can cause severe health complications, including stroke, heart failure, heart attack and kidney failure. Oedema is a condition caused by a build-up of fluid and swelling in the ankles, feet and legs.
Amifru 40 Tablet prevents the build-up of extra water in the body. This excess water can cause swollen ankles, shortness of breath and tiredness. It iconsists of Furosemide (loop diuretic) and Amiloride (potassium-sparing diuretic). Furosemide inhibits the reabsorption of sodium and chloride in the ascending loop of Henle and proximal and distal renal tubules (different parts of the nephron in the kidney). Amiloride inhibits sodium-potassium exchange in the distal tubule of the nephron (functional unit of the kidney). Amifru 40 Tablet helps in clearing the excess fluids in the body in the form of urine.

Hypertension: It is a chronic condition when blood pressure is too high. Blood pressure is defined as the amount of blood pumped by the heart and the amount of resistance exerted by the arteries against the blood flow. If the heart pumps more blood, then arteries become narrower and in turn, blood pressure becomes high. If blood pressure becomes uncontrolled, it may lead to serious heart diseases, including stroke and heart attack. Additionally, high blood pressure can also cause brain damage (stroke) and kidney failure. Blood pressure is expressed as systolic and diastolic pressures. Systolic blood pressure represents the contraction and relaxation of the heart. Diastolic pressure is exerted in the blood vessels when the heart beats and is in the resting state. Ideal blood pressure should be between 90/60mmHg and 120/80mmHg. Hypertension is detected when systolic blood pressure is more than 140mmHg and diastolic pressure is higher than 90mmHg. Some of the symptoms of hypertension include headache, nose bleed, vomiting and chest pain.
Oedema: It is swelling caused by excess fluid trapped in the body's tissues. It can affect any part of the body, preferably more in hands, arms, feet, ankles and legs.
