Drug Mode of Action ::  

Amiloride is an antikaliuretic with weak natriuretic, diuretic and antihypertensive effects. Some clinical studies found these effects to be partially additive to the effects of thiazide diuretics. Amiloride exerts its potassium-sparing effect by inhibiting Na reabsorption at the distal renal tubules; this decreases the net -ve potential of the tubular lumen and reduces both K and hydrogen secretion and their subsequent excretion. Hydrochlorothiazide is a diuretic and antihypertensive. It reduces electrolyte reabsorption from the renal tubules. Hydrochlorothiazide increases excretion of Na and chloride in approx equiv amounts. Natriuresis may be accompanied by some loss of K and bicarbonate. It exerts its hypotensive effect partly by reducing peripheral resistance.

Drug Interactions ::

Additive effects with other antihypertensives. May increase the responsiveness to tubocurarine. May reduce arterial responsiveness to pressor amines e.g. norepinephrine. Orthostatic hypotension may occur with alcohol, barbiturates and narcotics. Discontinue diuretics 2-3 days before initiation of an ACE inhibitor to reduce the likelihood of 1st dose hypotension. Increased hypokalaemia with corticosteroids or ACTH. Attenuation of diuretic, natriuretic and antihypertensive effects of diuretics with NSAIDs. Increased hyponatraemia with chlorpropamide. Increased hyperkalaemia with ciclosporin, tacrolimus, indometacin and angiotensin II receptor antagonists. Potentially Fatal: Increases risk of hyperkalaemia with other potassium-sparing diuretics (spironolactone or triamterene). Increases risk of lithium toxicity.
