Diucontin K 20 mg Tablet belongs to a group of medicines called diuretics (which increase the production of urine) and is primarily used to treat edema. A condition in which the swelling occurs when too much fluid becomes trapped in the tissues of the body, particularly the skin. Many possible causes of edema include heart failure, kidney failure, liver diseases and also by certain medications. Diucontin K 20 mg Tablet contains furosemide and potassium chloride. Furosemide is a diuretic that removes extra water and certain electrolytes from the body by increasing the amount of urine produced. In doing so, it causes potassium loss. Potassium chloride is a mineral supplement added to prevent low levels of potassium in the blood. Thus Diucontin K 20 mg Tablet improves the fluid overload associated with kidney, liver, heart diseases and also prevents the loss of potassium. You can take Diucontin K 20 mg Tablet with food or without food. It should be swallowed whole with a glass of water. Do not chew, bite, or break it.

In some cases, you may experience nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, flatulence, stomach pain, and dehydration. Most of these side effects of Diucontin K 20 mg Tablet do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects are persistent, reach out to your doctor. Inform your doctor before stopping the Diucontin K 20 mg Tablet . Inform your doctor if you are suffering from any kidney or liver or heart disease.
