| ==Dosage and Administration==
| |
| | |
| MIDAMOR should be administered with food.
| |
| | |
| MIDAMOR, one 5 mg tablet daily, should be added to the usual antihypertensive or [[diuretic]]dosage of a kaliuretic [[diuretic]]. The dosage may be increased to 10 mg per day, if necessary. More than two 5 mg tablets of MIDAMOR daily usually are not needed, and there is little controlled experience with such doses. If persistent [[hypokalemia ]]is documented with 10 mg, the dose can be increased to 15 mg, then 20 mg, with careful monitoring of electrolytes.
| |
| | |
| In treating patients with congestive heart failure after an initial diuresis has been achieved, potassium loss may also decrease and the need for MIDAMOR should be re-evaluated. Dosage adjustment may be necessary. Maintenance therapy may be on an intermittent basis.
| |
| | |
| If it is necessary to use MIDAMOR alone (see INDICATIONS), the starting dosage should be one 5 mg tablet daily. This dosage may be increased to 10 mg per day, if necessary. More than two 5 mg tablets usually are not needed, and there is little controlled experience with such doses. If persistent [[hypokalemia ]]is documented with 10 mg, the dose can be increased to 15 mg, then 20 mg, with careful monitoring of electrolytes.<ref name="dailymed.nlm.nih.gov">{{Cite web | last = | first = | title = MIDAMOR (AMILORIDE HYDROCHLORIDE) TABLET [PADDOCK LABORATORIES, INC.] | url = http://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/lookup.cfm?setid=f4cde6e4-12cb-4e30-920f-5b94576b4863 | publisher = | date = | accessdate = 26 February 2014 }}</ref>
