MiniLactone Tablet is used to manage fluid retention (oedema) caused by conditions such as congestive heart failure, liver cirrhosis and nephrotic syndrome. It is also used to help control high blood pressure.
It contains furosemide and spironolactone, two diuretics that work on different parts of the kidney to remove excess fluid while helping to conserve potassium. Take it as prescribed, generally in the morning, and do not stop suddenly without medical advice, as this may cause a rise in blood pressure.
Limiting salt intake, weighing yourself regularly to monitor fluid changes, and attending all follow-up blood test appointments support safe treatment with this medicine.
Tell your doctor about any kidney problems, difficulty passing urine, or other medicines you take before starting this medicine. Report any muscle weakness, severe dizziness, or signs of dehydration such as a dry mouth and reduced urination to your doctor promptly.

How Minilactone Tablet 10 Works?
MiniLactone Tablet contains two active ingredients that work together to produce a diuretic effect:
Spironolactone (25 mg): This is a potassium-sparing diuretic. It functions as an aldosterone antagonist, which means it blocks the action of aldosterone, a hormone that promotes sodium retention and potassium excretion. By counteracting aldosterone, spironolactone helps reduce fluid retention while preventing excessive loss of potassium.
Frusemide (20 mg): This is a loop diuretic. It works by inhibiting the reabsorption of sodium and chloride in the kidney tubules, leading to increased urine output. This, in turn, helps to reduce fluid retention in your body.
