Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Diuretics, sometimes called water pills, help rid your body of salt (sodium) and water. Most of these medicines help your kidneys release more sodium into your urine. The sodium helps remove water from your blood, decreasing the amount of fluid flowing through your veins and arteries.

Detailed explanation-2: -Diuretics. A diuretic is any substance that has the opposite effect of ADH-they increase urine volume, decrease urine osmolarity, lead to an increased plasma osmolarity, and often reduced blood volume. Many substances can act as diuretics, albeit with different mechanisms.

Detailed explanation-3: -Loop-acting diuretics cause the kidneys to increase the flow of urine. This helps reduce the amount of water in your body and lower your blood pressure.
