PROPRIETARY NAME
(and dosage form):
ADCO-RETIC TABLETS
COMPOSITION:
Each tablet contains 5 mg 
AMILORIDE 
hydrochloride, and 50 mg 
HYDROCHLOROTHIAZIDE
. 
PHARMACOLOGICAL CLASSIFICATION: 
A 18.1 Diuretics 
PHARMACOLOGICAL ACTION: 
ADCO-RETIC TABLETS have diuretic and antihypertensive effects, combining the natriuretic action of
hydrochlorothiazide, with the potassium conserving property of amiloride hydrochloride. The mild diuretic action of
amiloride hydrochloride is additive to the natriuretic and diuretic activity of the thiazide.
INDICATIONS:
ADCO-RETIC TABLETS are indicated in the treatment of patients with oedema of cardiac decompensation or associated

Other antikaliuretic agents and potassium supplements are contra-indicated in patients receiving 
ADCO-RETIC
TABLETS due to the potassium-sparing effect of amiloride hydrochloride (such combination therapy is commonly
associated with rapid increases in plasma potassium levels).
Impaired Renal Function:
Anuria, acute renal failure, severe progressive renal disease and diabetic nephropathy are co
