Diuretic
A diuretic is a substance that promotes the production of urine, aiding the removal of excess salt and water from the body. Commonly prescribed to manage hypertension, oedema, and certain kidney conditions, diuretics help improve fluid balance. They include classes like thiazides, loop diuretics, and potassium-sparing diuretics.
