Hello!
Welcome to Ask a Doctor service!
Regarding your concern, I would explain that Amifru is an antihypertensive drug composed by furasemide 40mg and Amiloride 5mg.
You can take these drugs separately in the US. If her blood pressure values are still high with these drugs, I would recommend adding amlodipine 10mg daily to her therapy.
The repeated nose bleeding are caused by uncontrolled arterial hypertension and are an alarm sign for an increased risk for bleeding inside the brain, if these high blood pressure values persist.
Hope to have been helpful!
Wishing good health,
Dr. Ilir Sharka, Cardiologist
