How to minimize the side effects of blood pressure medications/diuretics?

Sixty-five millio
Americans have high blood pressure according to the American Heart Association. If all of them were to take some of the most common drugs to treat hypertension, they’d also be deficient in vitami
B6 and CoQ10.
Diureticsr
There are two kinds of diuretics: thiazides and loop diuretics. They’re great at lowering blood pressure. Doctors also prescribe them for diseases of the kidney and liver, as well as for heart health.
While they help to fight these health conditions, they can also cause serious health problems. Hydrochlorothiazide (Microzide, Hydrodiuril) lowers levels of zinc, magnesium, and potassium. Loop diuretics like furosemide (Delone, Detue, Lasix), and bumetanide (Bumex) also deplete potassium, calcium, and vitamins B6 and C.
