XIPAMID 20MG TABLET

XIPAMID 20MG TABLET is a sulfonamide diuretics drug. XIPAMID 20MG TABLET is generally used for cardiac oedema caused by decompensation of heart failure, renal oedema, chronic liver disease (but not with anuria), hepatic oedema caused by cirrhosis, Ascites, Lymphoedema, hypertension in combination with chronic renal diseases.

Like the structurally related thiazide diuretics, xipamide acts on the kidneys to reduce sodium reabsorption in the distal convoluted tubule. This increases the osmolarity in the lumen, causing less water to be reabsorbed by the collecting ducts. This leads to increased urinary output. Unlike the thiazides, xipamide reaches its target from the peritubular side (blood side).Additionally, it increases the secretion of potassium in the distal tubule and collecting ducts. In high doses it also inhibits the enzyme carbonic anhydrase which leads to increased secretion of bicarbonate and alkalizes the urine.
