What are Water Pills?
Water pills, medically known as diuretics, are the first line medications prescribed to individuals with high blood pressure. It works by inducing urination, thus ridding the kidneys of excess water and the entire body of excess sodium. By reducing the amount of fluid in the blood vessels, the pressure inside them goes down in turn making it easier for the heart to pump blood.
