Spirocard Plus Tablet is a combination of Furosemide and Spironolactone, used for the treatment of fluid retention (edema) associated with heart, liver, or kidney disorders. This dual-action diuretic therapy helps remove excess fluid from the body more effectively while maintaining a balanced potassium level. It is commonly prescribed in conditions where single diuretic therapy is not sufficient.

Mechanism of Action
Spirocard Plus combines two diuretics with complementary actions:
-
Furosemide: A loop diuretic that acts on the loop of Henle in the kidney, increasing excretion of sodium, chloride, and water, leading to rapid reduction of fluid overload.
-
Spironolactone: A potassium-sparing diuretic and aldosterone antagonist that prevents potassium loss while reducing sodium and water retention.
Together, they provide effective fluid removal while minimizing the risk of potassium imbalance.
