Why is Midamor prescribed?

Midamor (Amiloride) is commonly used alongside other diuretics to treat or prevent hypokalemia (low potassium levels in the blood) in people with high blood pressure or congestive heart failure.

What does it do?

Midamor (Amiloride) is a potassium-sparing diuretic (water pill) that prevents excessive salt absorption in your body and helps maintain proper potassium levels when using other diuretics like hydrochlorothiazide. It can also be prescribed for other conditions, as determined appropriate by your healthcare provider.

How should I take it?

The typical starting dose is 5 mg taken orally once a day and should be added to the usual antihypertensive or diuretic dosage of a kaliuretic diuretic. Depending on your response to the medication, your doctor may adjust the dosage, potentially increasing it to a maximum of 10 mg per day.

The total daily dose is usually taken either once daily or divided into two smaller doses. It's also important to take Midamor with food to reduce stomach upset. It's vital to follow your doctor's instructions exactly and ensure you don't skip doses or stop taking the medication without consulting your healthcare provider first, even if you feel well.

What if I missed a dose?

If you miss a dose of Midamor take it as soon as you remember. If it's nearly time for your next scheduled dose, skip the missed one and continue with your regular dosing routine. Do not take extra medication to make up for the missed dose.

What are the special precautions before taking Midamor?

Before taking Midamor (Amiloride), it's important to be aware of certain precautions to ensure the medication is safe and effective for you. These are the special precautions to keep in mind before taking Midamor.

• Inform your health care provider or doctor of any known allergies to Midamor (Amiloride) or similar medications.
• Inform your doctor if you have any kidney disease or impaired kidney function. Midamor affects how your kidneys handle potassium, and compromised kidneys can lead to dangerously high potassium levels (hyperkalemia).
• Let your healthcare provider know if you have liver conditions like cirrhosis or hepatitis, as this may influence how the medication is metabolized.
• Midamor can affect blood sugar levels. If you have diabetes, close monitoring of blood glucose is advisable.
• Discuss any history of electrolyte disturbances, especially high potassium levels, low sodium levels, or dehydration.
• It's also crucial to provide a complete list of all medications you're taking, including prescription drugs, over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, and herbal supplements.

Does it have any side effects?

It is important to note that all drugs have corresponding side effects and adverse reactions. Additional information may be obtained when you ask your doctor or pharmacist.

Common side effects may include:
• Dry Mouth or Increased Thirst
• Nausea and Vomiting
• Diarrhea or Constipation
• Loss of Appetite
• Headache
• Dizziness or Lightheadedness
• Fatigue or Weakness
• Rash or Itching

Serious side effects may include:
• Abdominal pain
• Confusion or difficulty concentrating
• Difficulty breathing or swallowing
• Irregular heartbeat or palpitations
• Shortness of breath
• Numbness or tingling in the hands, feet, or lips

This list doesn't cover all possible side effects, and additional ones might occur. Side effects can vary from person to person. Always communicate any unusual symptoms or concerns to your healthcare provider.

Is it safe to take it with another drug?

Midamor is sometimes prescribed alongside other diuretics to balance electrolyte levels. However, careful monitoring is necessary to prevent dehydration and electrolyte imbalances. Combining Midamor with medications that increase potassium levels can increase the risk of hyperkalemia (high potassium levels), which may cause heart rhythm problems and other serious health issues. It's crucial to inform your doctor about all the medications you're taking, especially:

• ACE inhibitors such as benazepril, captopril, enalapril, lisinopril
• Lithium
• Organ transplant medications like Cyclosporine and Tacrolimus
• Heart or blood pressure drugs such as Losartan, Valsartan, Azilsartan
• NSAIDs like Aspirin, Ibuprofen (Advil), Naproxen (Aleve), Celecoxib, Diclofenac, Meloxicam
This is not a complete list. Other medications, including prescription and over-the-counter drugs, vitamins, and herbal products, may interact with Midamor.
How should I store it?

Keep Midamor at a temperature between 68°F and 77°F (20°C to 25°C). Do not freeze the medication or expose it to excessive heat. Store the medication in a dry place away from direct sunlight and keep it in its original container, which is designed to protect it from moisture.

What action should I take in case of overdose?
If you suspect that you or someone else has overdosed on Midamor (Amiloride), it's crucial to seek immediate medical attention or go to emergency department as needed.
Is it safe for pregnant or breastfeeding women?

The use of Midamor (Amiloride) during pregnancy and breastfeeding is a decision that requires careful consideration and professional medical advice on whether to discontinue nursing or to discontinue the drug. While there isn't definitive evidence of harm, the lack of substantial human studies means potential risks can't be entirely ruled out.

Having open communication with your healthcare provider is crucial to ensure that you receive personalized recommendations that balance the benefits to your health with the safety of your baby.
