Diuretics are commonly used to control blood pressure. Also known as "water pills," these drugs help your kidneys get rid of extra water and salt from your body through your urine. Because you have less fluid in your blood vessels, your blood pressure goes down. Diuretics allow your blood vessels to widen, which makes it easier for blood to flow and easier for your heart to pump. photo of medication bottle Water pills are often prescribed to lower blood pressure and get rid of fluid retention in the body.
