Product introduction
Planep Tablet is a medicine known as a diuretic (water pill). It is mainly used in the treatment of heart failure and high blood pressure. It is also used to reduce swelling (edema) caused by some other conditions.
Planep Tablet can be taken with or without food, but you should take it, in the same way, each time to get the most benefit.

This medicine should only be used if it is clearly needed during pregnancy and while breastfeeding.

How Planep Tablet works
Planep Tablet is a potassium-sparing diuretic. It works by stopping aldosterone (a natural substance) from increasing your blood pressure. It also reduces the fluid around your heart. This helps improve your heart function after a heart attack and can help prevent heart attacks, strokes or heart failure getting worse.
