How do Diuretics
Diuretics work by acting on your kidneys, the organs in your body that make urine (pee). Most diuretics work by taking sodium (salt) out of your body. As you may know water follows salt in the body, thus a diuretic’s main action is to lower the amount of water in your body.

Who uses Diuretics
Diuretics are a main form of treatment for patients with high blood pressure, heart failure or diabetes.
