title: [Diuretic agent].
abstract: This clause explains a diuretic as an antihypertensive agent. A diuretic is a medicine used as a first-line agent also in the present. As an antihypertensive agent, a thiazide-type diuretic drug is used in many cases. Use of furosemide is not recommended other than a chronic kidney disease patient. Considering future medical economics, it is desirable to use a diuretic drug positively.
