Adults:

Congestive heart failure: The usual starting oral dose is 10 mg or 20 mg once daily. If the diuretic response is not enough, the dose should be increased step by step, roughly doubling each time, until the desired diuretic response is reached. Single doses above 200 mg have not been adequately studied. Chronic renal failure: The usual starting oral dose is 20 mg once daily. If the diuretic response is not enough, the dose should be increased step by step, roughly doubling each time, until the desired diuretic response is reached. Single doses above 200 mg have not been adequately studied. Hepatic cirrhosis: The usual starting oral dose is 5 mg or 10 mg once daily, given together with an aldosterone antagonist or a potassium sparing diuretic. If the diuretic response is not enough, the dose should be increased step by step, roughly doubling each time, until the desired diuretic response is reached. Single doses above 40 mg have not been adequately studied. Long term use of any diuretic in liver disease has not been studied in adequate and well controlled trials. Hypertension: The usual starting oral dose is 2.5 to 5 mg once daily. If the 5 mg dose does not lower blood pressure enough within 4 to 6 weeks, the dose may be raised to 10 mg once daily. If the response to 10 mg is still not sufficient, another antihypertensive medicine should be added to the treatment.
