Furo Plus Tablet is a combination of Furosemide 20 mg and Spironolactone 50 mg, used as a diuretic therapy for the management of fluid retention (edema) and hypertension. It works by increasing urine output while balancing potassium levels in the body, making it useful in conditions where excess fluid buildup is a concern.

This combination is commonly used in patients with heart, liver, or kidney-related fluid retention under medical supervision.
