Nales Plus 50mg/10mg Tablet

Nales Plus 50mg/10mg Tablet is a combination of two active ingredients, Spironolactone (50mg) and Torasemide (10mg). This medication is primarily used to manage conditions like hypertension (high blood pressure), heart failure, and fluid retention (edema). Spironolactone, a potassium-sparing diuretic, helps prevent the loss of potassium while removing excess sodium and fluid. Torasemide, a loop diuretic, enhances the removal of fluid from the body. Together, they work to alleviate swelling, lower blood pressure, and improve heart function.

Uses of Nales Plus 50mg/10mg Tablet

Nales Plus 50mg/10mg Tablet is commonly used for:

• Edema (Fluid Retention): Helps relieve swelling caused by conditions like heart failure, liver disease, or kidney disorders by eliminating excess fluid.
• Hypertension (High Blood Pressure): Effective in lowering blood pressure and reducing the risk of heart attack, stroke, and kidney damage.
• Heart Failure: Reduces fluid buildup around the heart and lungs, easing symptoms like breathlessness and fatigue.

How Nales Plus 50mg/10mg Tablet Works

Nales Plus 50mg/10mg Tablet combines the actions of two diuretics. Spironolactone prevents the body from losing potassium while increasing sodium and water excretion, thus reducing fluid retention without causing low potassium levels. Torasemide, a loop diuretic, acts on the kidneys to increase the excretion of sodium, chloride, and water, promoting further fluid removal and lowering blood pressure. Together, these medications work synergistically to manage fluid balance and control blood pressure.

Benefits of Nales Plus 50mg/10mg Tablet

• Reduces fluid buildup and relieves swelling associated with heart failure, kidney disease, and liver conditions.
• Helps lower high blood pressure, reducing the risk of cardiovascular diseases and stroke.
• Improves symptoms of heart failure by reducing excess fluid, improving breathing, and reducing fatigue.
• Helps maintain potassium levels, unlike other diuretics that may lead to potassium depletion.
