Fruselac Tablet contains two active ingredients that work together to alleviate symptoms of fluid retention and lower blood pressure:

• Frusemide (20 mg): This ingredient acts on a part of your kidneys called the loop of Henle. It inhibits the reabsorption of sodium, chloride, and water in this area. This action leads to increased urine production, which reduces blood volume and subsequently lowers blood pressure.
• Spironolactone (50 mg): This component is an aldosterone antagonist—it blocks the action of aldosterone in your body. Aldosterone is a hormone that promotes sodium retention while increasing potassium excretion. By blocking aldosterone’s action, spironolactone helps your body retain potassium while increasing the excretion of sodium and water.

• To manage ascites and hypertension effectively, reduce your salt intake as it can increase fluid retention and blood pressure.
