Frequently asked questions about amiloride

Medically reviewed by:
Jessica Swirble, PharmD

Amiloride is a prescription medication primarily used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension) and conditions that lead to excess potassium levels in the body. It is available under the brand name Midamor. Generic versions are also available.

Amiloride belongs to the drug class known as potassium-sparing diuretics, which help the body eliminate excess salt and water while retaining potassium.

Please note that you will need a prescription from a licensed healthcare provider to obtain this medication.

Amiloride is prescribed in combination with other medications to manage the following medical conditions:

Hypertension (High Blood Pressure): Amiloride is used to help lower and control high blood pressure, reducing the risk of heart disease and stroke.

Hypokalemia: Amiloride can also be prescribed for the treatment of hypokalemia, a condition characterized by lower-than-normal levels of potassium in the bloodstream.

Congestive Heart Failure: In some cases, amiloride is used in combination with other medications to manage congestive heart failure.

Edema: Amiloride is also used to alleviate edema (fluid retention) associated with various conditions.

Amiloride belongs to the class of potassium-sparing diuretics. It works by blocking the sodium channels in the renal tubules, specifically in the collecting ducts of the kidneys. By doing so, amiloride reduces the reabsorption of sodium and decreases the elimination of potassium. This dual action helps the body eliminate excess sodium and water while retaining potassium, which is essential for various bodily functions.

While using amiloride, some individuals may experience side effects, although not everyone will.

Mild side effects may include:

  • Increased urination
  • Mild nausea
  • Vomiting
  • Diarrhea
  • Headache
  • Fatigue
  • Stomach upset or pain
  • Dizziness or lightheadedness
  • Muscle cramps

More severe side effects include:

  • Increased potassium levels
  • Skin rash
  • Hives
  • Chest pain
  • Difficulty breathing or swallowing
  • Yellowing of the skin or eyes
  • Changes in heartbeat
  • Dry mouth
  • Confusion

It's essential to inform your healthcare provider if you experience any side effects or have concerns about taking this medication.

Before starting treatment with amiloride, inform your healthcare provider about any existing medical conditions, allergies, or other medications you are taking, including prescription drugs, over-the-counter medications, and dietary supplements, as they may interact with amiloride.

Specifically, discuss any history of:

  • Allergies to amiloride or similar medications
  • Kidney problems
  • High potassium levels
  • Diabetes
  • Heart problems
  • Liver disease

Amiloride can increase potassium levels. If left untreated, this can be fatal. The risk is greater in those with kidney impairment, diabetes, and the elderly. It is important that your potassium levels and kidney function are regularly monitored while on amiloride.

You should also talk to your provider about whether or not it is safe for you to eat potassium-rich foods like bananas, prunes, and raisins.

If you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding, consult your healthcare provider before using amiloride to assess potential risks and benefits.

The recommended dosage of amiloride may vary depending on the specific medical condition being treated, individual factors, and your healthcare provider's guidance. Amiloride is typically taken orally in tablet form, usually once a day or as directed by your provider.

Follow your healthcare provider's instructions regarding dosing and other recommendations for taking amiloride. Do not discontinue or alter your dosage without consulting your doctor, as this can affect the medication's effectiveness.

Store amiloride as directed by your healthcare provider or pharmacist. Proper storage is essential to maintain the medication's effectiveness. Typically, amiloride should be stored at room temperature, away from excessive heat, light, and moisture.

Keep the medication out of the reach of children and ensure that the container is tightly closed.

Amiloride is available by prescription only. A licensed healthcare provider must authorize the use of this medication.
