The tablet should be taken orally or by mouth with or without food, usually once a day or as directed by your doctor. It should be taken at the same time every day so that one doesn't forget the dose. Retrolix should be avoided 4 hours prior to bedtime so that one doesn't have to get up for urinating.

Is Retrolix potassium sparing?

Dr. Sameer Awadhiya MBBS , Pediatrics

No, Retrolix is not potassium sparing. Rather, it is a loop diuretic that removes excess of water and electrolytes like potassium from the body. One may need to eat potassium-rich foods or a potassium supplement while one uses Retrolix. Spironolactone is a potassium-sparing diuretic which prevents the loss of potassium from the body.
