Frucard Tablet is a combination medicine containing Furosemide and Spironolactone, used to manage fluid retention (edema) and high blood pressure associated with various cardiovascular, liver, and kidney conditions. This dual-action diuretic formulation helps remove excess fluid from the body while maintaining potassium balance, making it an effective and safer option for long-term fluid management.

Furosemide is a loop diuretic that works by increasing the elimination of excess salt and water through urine. It helps reduce swelling, shortness of breath, and fluid accumulation in conditions such as heart failure, liver cirrhosis, and kidney disease. Spironolactone is a potassium-sparing diuretic that helps the body remove excess fluid without causing excessive potassium loss. It also blocks the action of aldosterone, a hormone responsible for salt and water retention.

By combining these two medicines, Frucard Tablet offers effective diuretic action while minimizing the risk of low potassium levels often associated with conventional diuretics alone. It helps improve symptoms related to fluid overload and supports better cardiovascular function.
