It is a potassium-sparing diuretic with actions and uses similar to those of amiloride used in the treatment of edema and in the management of hypertension. It is usually associated with hydrochlorothiazide or furosemide. Oral administration once or twice a day.
At the date of the last update we did not find any published data on its excretion in breast milk.
Long-term treatment with diuretic drugs may compromise the state of hydration of the nursing mother. Must make an adjustment (decrease) of the dose based on the estimated milk production and monitor milk production. Use a lower dose as possible, especially during the first postnatal month.
Until more published data is known about this drug in relation to breastfeeding, known safer alternatives are preferable, especially during the neonatal period and in the event of prematurity.
