  Amiloride citrate - Patent 4190655
Amiloride citrate, since it is relatively water insoluble would be virtually tasteless and hence, would lend itself easily to the preparation of chewable tablets which can be used, for example, in the pediatric market.
Amiloride citrate, therefore, is useful in combination with other classes of diuretic agents to prevent the loss of potassium which the other diuretcis otherwise would cause to be eliminated.
Amiloride citrate is advantageously administered at a dosage range of from about 5 mg/day to about 30 mg/day preferably at 5 mg/day to about 20 mg per day or at a somewhat higher or lower dosage at the physician's discretion, preferably in sub-divided amounts on a 2 to 4 times a day regimen.
