Mefruside
Mefruside is a diuretic and antihypertensive medication that is used to treat hypertension and edema. It belongs to the class of drugs known as sulfonamides, which work by causing the kidneys to get rid of unneeded water and salt from the body into the urine.
Pharmacology
Mefruside works by blocking the absorption of sodium and chloride in the proximal part of the kidney's distal convoluted tubule. This increases the amount of salt and water that comes out through your urine, which helps lower your blood pressure and reduces swelling.
Side Effects
Like all medications, Mefruside can cause side effects. Common side effects include dizziness, headache, and nausea. Less common side effects include rash, hypotension, and electrolyte imbalance. If these side effects persist or worsen, patients are advised to contact their healthcare provider immediately.
Interactions
Mefruside may interact with other medications, which can affect how it works or increase the risk of serious side effects. It is important to keep a list of all the products you use (including prescription/nonprescription drugs and herbal products) and share it with your doctor and pharmacist.
Precautions
Before taking Mefruside, patients should inform their healthcare provider if they are allergic to it, or if they have any other allergies. This product may contain inactive ingredients, which can cause allergic reactions or other problems.
