Description:

Frutone Tablet is used to treat resistant hypertension, chronic cardiac failure, and hepatic cirrhosis. It is commonly used when fluid buildup (edema) or high blood pressure cannot be controlled by a single medicine. It helps remove excess salt and water from the body, reducing swelling and fluid overload.

Take Frutone Tablet exactly as prescribed by your doctor, preferably with breakfast and/or lunch along with a full glass of water. Avoid taking it in the evening to prevent nighttime urination. For the best results, take the medicine at the same time every day and do not stop on your own, even if you start feeling better.

Continue to follow your doctor’s advice about dietary salt and fluid intake. In conditions like hypertension or heart failure, your doctor may recommend limiting salt, avoiding alcohol, and maintaining a healthy weight. Regular follow-up visits are important, as your doctor may monitor blood pressure, kidney function, and electrolyte levels (especially potassium and sodium).

The most common side effects of Frutone Tablet include electrolyte disturbances, hyponatremia (low sodium level in blood), dehydration, and hypovolemia (decreased blood volume). Because this medicine increases urine output, you may feel thirsty or need to urinate more often. To reduce side effects, drink adequate water, avoid excessive sweating or dehydration, and do not use salt substitutes containing potassium unless your doctor advises it.

Do not take Frutone Tablet if you have kidney failure, severe liver disease (hepatic encephalopathy), high potassium levels, or low sodium levels, or if you are dehydrated. It is also contraindicated in pregnancy and breastfeeding due to potential harm to the baby. Avoid alcohol and other medicines that may lower blood pressure or increase potassium levels, such as ACE inhibitors, potassium supplements, or certain painkillers (NSAIDs). Be cautious while driving or operating machinery, as dizziness or drowsiness may occur, especially at the start of treatment.
