A diuretic is any substance that promotes diuresis, the increased production of urine. This includes forced diuresis. A diuretic tablet is sometimes colloquially called a water tablet. There are several categories of diuretics. All diuretics increase the excretion of water from the body, through the kidneys.
What is diuresis and what causes it?
Your kidneys can make extra pee when your body needs to get rid of a substance. It's a process called diuresis. It can happen for a short time because of medication or something you eat, or it can be a sign of a larger health condition. Whatever the cause, your doctor can help you figure out the right treatment.
