What is diuretics?

• Water pills, often known as diuretics, are frequently used to treat high blood pressure.
• Common loop diuretic formulations, such as furosemide (frusemide) 40mg, torasemide 2.5, 5 and 10mg, are less effective diuretics and natriuretics than common distal tubular diuretic formulations, such as hydrochlorothiazide 25mg, xipamide 10mg and 20mg.
• In fact, certain popular loop diuretic formulations, like torasemide 2.5, do not raise natriuresis or 24-hour diuresis in healthy persons.
• Common formulations of distal tubular diuretics enhance 24-hour kaliuresis and magnesiuresis, but they either modestly increase them or (more frequently) have no effect on them.
