How does amiloride/hydrochlorothiazide work (mechanism of action)?
Amiloride/hydrochlorothiazide works by increasing how much you pee. It does this by helping the kidneys remove electrolytes, such as sodium (salt), and water from the body. It also appears to allow blood to flow more freely (less resistance to flow), which may help with lowering blood pressure. The amiloride in this combination medicine helps your kidneys keep more potassium in your blood, which could get too low if you take hydrochlorothiazide alone.
