There is often a lack of studies and data surrounding traditional medicine, especially concerning drug interactions, so it is important to always consult your provider before making any changes to your medication regimen.
Arrach Overview
Arroche puante, also known as stinking chamomile, stinking mayweed, and stinking goosefoot, is a type of flowering plant that belongs to the Asteraceae family. It is native to Europe and Asia and is known for its strong, unpleasant odor, which has been described as being similar to rotten fish. This smell is caused by the presence of trimethylamine.
Arroche puante has been used as a natural insect repellent and in traditional medicine for a variety of purposes, including as a treatment for wounds, as a digestive aid, and for painful menstruation.
Amiloride Overview
-
Amiloride is usually used in combination with other diuretics ('water pills') to treat high blood pressure and heart failure in patients who have low amounts of potassium in their bodies or for whom low potassium levels in the body could be dangerous. Amiloride is in a class of medications called diuretics. It works by causing the kidneys to get rid of unneeded water and salt from the body into the urine, but reduces the loss of potassium.
-
High blood pressure is a common condition, and when not treated it can cause damage to the brain, heart, blood vessels, kidneys, and other parts of the body. Damage to these organs may cause heart disease, a heart attack, heart failure, stroke, kidney failure, loss of vision, and other problems. In addition to taking medication, making lifestyle changes will also help to control your blood pressure. These changes include eating a diet that is low in fat and salt, maintaining a healthy weight, exercising at least 30 minutes most days, not smoking, and using alcohol in moderation.
