Just wondering if anyone has been prescribed furosemide tablets to reduce water retention and having to get up in the night so much? Via my GP the oncology dept has suggested I take 20mg at 4pm to remove extra fluid between then and 10pm. I would be very interested in your results - and any side-effects.
Hello Amplitude
We spoke yesterday - this one has me confused as yes, it's a diuretic, so do you stop drinking after 4pm? But I can't go against medical advice. Here's the NHS link:
When I was in hospital this was one option to clear my kidneys (see my profile) but the better option was for me to drink water and have a saline drip.
I am sure your team know best and I hope it works for you. Do let us know.
Best wishes - Brian.
