Fruselac DS Tablet works in the human body in the following ways:
Frusemide (40 mg): Belonging to a class of medicines called loop diuretics, frusemide works by inhibiting the reabsorption of sodium, chloride, and water from the kidneys. It, thus, increases urine production and promotes the excretion of these minerals from your body, thereby preventing fluid retention.
Spironolactone (50 mg): This component is a potassium-sparing diuretic. It blocks the activity of aldosterone — a hormone that promotes sodium retention and potassium excretion by the kidney. By blocking its action, spironolactone decreases sodium reabsorption and increases sodium and water excretion through the kidneys while reducing potassium loss.
