Key points

  • Amiloride is a potassium-sparing diuretic that increases how much sodium and water pass into urine while conserving potassium.
  • Amiloride’s established combination-therapy use extends to heart failure.
  • Potassium and kidney function are the main safety considerations for amiloride, which can raise blood potassium levels.
