Frumil Tablet belongs to the class of 'diuretic drugs or water pills', primarily 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 to work harder in pumping the blood to 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.

Frumil 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 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 nephron (functional unit of the kidney). Frumil Tablet helps in clearing the excess fluids in the body in the form of urine.

Your doctor will advise you how often you take Frumil Tablet based on your medical condition. Like all medicines, Frumil Tablet can cause side effects, although not everybody gets them. Some common side effects of Frumil Tablet include dizziness, light-headedness, headache, blurred vision, nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, stomach/abdominal pain, gas and diarrhoea.

Do not stop taking Frumil Tablet without consulting your doctor since it may worsen your condition and increase the risk of future heart problems. Inform your doctor if you have any untreated salt/mineral imbalance (high potassium, low sodium level), kidney disease, liver disease, diabetes, dehydration, gout, hearing loss, Addison's disease (adrenal insufficiency), dehydration and lupus (an autoimmune disease of tissues). Please tell your doctor if you are taking any other medicines or have any allergic reactions to Frumil Tablet . Reducing the amount of table salt (sodium chloride) in your food often relieves the body's swelling.

Frumil Tablet prevents the build-up of extra water in the body and treats hypertension (high blood pressure) and oedema (fluid retention). Frumil Tablet is a combination of medicine that consists of Furosemide and Amiloride. Furosemide is a 'loop diuretic' that treats high blood pressure, fluid retention (oedema) in people with congestive heart failure, liver disease or nephrotic syndrome (a kidney disease). Amiloride is a 'potassium-sparing diuretic' and treats hypokalemia (low potassium levels in the blood) in people with high blood pressure or congestive heart failure. Frumil Tablet works by acting on different parts of the kidney to remove extra fluid and certain electrolytes while maintaining the body's potassium balance. Frumil Tablet clears the excess fluids in the body in the form of urine.

Do not use Frumil Tablet if you are allergic to Frumil Tablet or any of its components. Let your doctor know if you have any untreated salt/mineral imbalance (high potassium, low sodium level), kidney disease, liver disease, diabetes, dehydration, gout, hearing loss, Addison's disease (adrenal insufficiency), dehydration and lupus (an autoimmune disease of tissues) before starting Frumil Tablet . Therapy with loop diuretics should be administered cautiously in patients with diabetes mellitus, glucose intolerance, or a history of hyperglycemia (high glucose levels) since Furosemide affects your blood sugar levels. Pregnant and breastfeeding women should consult a doctor before using Frumil Tablet .
