EXCERPT
Edema/Diuretics
Swelling in the ankles, feet, and legs is often caused by a build-up of fluid in these areas called edema.
Diuretics are medicines that help reduce fluid buildup in the body because of heart failure or other medical problems.
Diuretics are sometimes called water pills.
Most diuretics help the kidneys remove salt and water through the urine.
As a result, blood pressure goes down.
