No: It's not good to drink lots of water. The furosemide will cause you lose free water and electrolytes (necessary salts) but you'll only be replacing free water - counteracting the medicine and resulting in electrolyte imbalance. Instead, try to eat potassium rich foods - http://www.health.gov/dietaryguidelines/dga2005/document/html/appendixb.htm
