This helps to reduce fluid retention and lower blood pressure, which can improve heart function and reduce the risk of heart-related complications.

It is important to follow the prescribed dosage and avoid sudden changes in diet or other medications without consulting a healthcare provider. Regular monitoring of blood pressure and electrolyte levels is recommended.
