Dr. Jack Rubin answered

Diuretic?: Lemon water does not take the place of a diuretic to remove edema fluid, so do not take it to get rid of edema.. Indeed, taking too much fluid is exactly what patients with edema should not do. Speak to your physician for more information.

Good evening doctors. Blood pressure question. I take 100 mg of Metoprolol ER taken in am and 100 mg Losartan daily taken in pm. My BP was 180/80. A new Dr wants to change Losartan to Losartan Plus diuretic. How would I know if this change is good?

Very good afternoon doctors. Is it ok or appropriate to take Flomax or a similar medication for frequent urination at night if you are taking Losartan HCTZ which has a diuretic? Does taking the Flomax defeat or undo taking the HCTZ diuretic?

A member asked:

Good morning doctors. I take Losartan HCTZ 100mg and Metoprolol ER 100mg. Would it be better (or not better) for my blood pressure control to have both medications with a diuretic/water pill?

A member asked:

Hi doctors. Can you take Desmopressin or a similar medication for frequent urination at night (prostate NOT enlarged) if you are already taking Losartan HCTZ diuretic, or is it counterproductive and defeats the purpose of taking the Losartan HCTZ?
