What kind of pills or treatment can somebody get for congestive heart failure?

Many: The cornerstone of therapy is a diuretic ("fluid pill"). Drugs that dilate the blood vessels (vasodilators, ace inhibitors) and drugs that reduce the work load of the heart (beta blockers) should always be included unless there is a specific contraindication. A drug that blocks the hormone aldosterone (spironolactone or inspra) should also be used if possible. The underlying cause should be sought.

Depends: If heartfailure is right sided or from a stiff heart rather than a weak heart , then the treatment will be quite diffrent and could actually harm a pt. More info is needed.

Depends: There are multiple kinds of heart failure. Systolic, which is due to a weak heart. Diastolic which is more related to excess fluid and stiff heart walls or kidney failure. Another way to break down is left sided, which causes fluid in lungs, vs right sided, which engorges veins but not lungs. Common meds used are diuretics, ace inhibitors, inotropes-drugs that help pump, etc. And even dialysis.
