Diuretics and dehydration
Written by: Dr. Rowena | Posted: Mar 03 2009
Q: Do high blood pressure pills cause dehydration?
A: Blood pressure lowering pills that contain diuretics can contribute to dehydration. Diuretics increase the amount of water the body loses with urination. To prevent dehydration, it is especially important for people taking diuretics to drink plenty of fluids in hot and sweaty conditions.
