What the Health Canada label says it is for
1. Indications MIDAMOR (amiloride hydrochloride tablets) is indicated: • For use alone or concomitantly with thiazide diuretics or other kaliuretic-diuretic agents in the treatment of patients with cirrhosis of the liver with ascites and edema. • As an adjunct to thiazide diuretics or other kaliuretic-diuretic agents for the treatment of edema of cardiac origin or of hypertension in patients who have hypokalemia, or in whom maintenance of normal serum potassium levels is considered to be clinically important, e.g., digitalized patients, patients in whom adequate dietary intake of potassium is not feasible, or patients with cardiac arrhythmias. Use in Hepatic Cirrhosis with Ascites and Edema MIDAMOR used alone may provide satisfactory diuresis with diminished potassium loss and with a reduced risk of metabolic alkalosis. In resistant cases MIDAMOR may be used with kaliuretic-diuretic agents to help produce satisfactory diuresis, while maintaining a more balanced serum electrolyte pattern. As with all therapy for the ascites of hepatic cirrhosis, gradual weight loss and avoidance of electrolyte imbalance are the chief objectives.
