Uses

How it Works
Amiloride is known as a beta-blocker. Amiloride works on the heart and blood vessels. Amiloride works by blocking beta-adrenergic receptors where messages sent by some nerves are received by the heart and blood vessels. As a result of Amiloride treatment, the heart beats more slowly and with less force.
