SKĐS - I have high blood pressure, my doctor prescribed furosemide, I found it to be a diuretic. So why am I taking this medicine? What should I pay attention to when taking medicine? Thank you! Tran Thi Hoa (Hanoi) For patients with high blood pressure, depending on the specific case, the doctor may prescribe diuretics. In patients with high blood pressure, excess salt and water in the body puts extra pressure on the artery walls. Diuretics act on the kidneys to increase the amount of salt and water excreted from the body through urine. In addition, diuretics also help artery walls relax more, blood flow more easily. Thanks to these two factors, the pressure on the arteries will be significantly reduced, bringing the blood pressure level to a safe threshold. Some studies also show that diuretics are a very good support for other antihypertensive drugs such as beta-blockers, angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors... to overcome the side effects of water retention in the body. when t
