About your water pill:
• The water pill controls how much salt and water you have in your body. It helps you remove fluid by urinating— sometimes you will notice you are urinating more often.
• You may notice your doctor makes changes to your water pills more often than other medications. The dose is usually based on how much extra fluid the doctor thinks you are carrying.
