Demadex is a loop diuretic that reduces the amount of water in the body associated with congestive heart failure, liver disease, or kidney disease.
This drug works by acting on the kidneys to increase the flow of urine. Demadex is also used alone or in combination with another drug for the treatment of hypertension.
High blood pressure adds to the workload of the heart and arteries which can damage the blood vessels of the brain, heart, and kidneys, resulting in a stroke, heart failure, or kidney failure.
High blood pressure may also increase the risk of heart attacks. When blood pressure is controlled, these effects are less likely to be experienced. This drug requires a prescription.
Before using Demadex, you must know all about the risks and complications associated with it. Inform your healthcare provider for any allergic reactions to these drugs or any other drugs, foods, dyes, preservatives, or animals. Carefully read the label of non-prescription drugs for any possible allergic reaction or contraindications.
