Overview

Aqua-Ban is a medication used primarily for the management of conditions related to fluid retention or edema. It is often prescribed to patients who experience swelling due to conditions like heart failure, kidney disease, or other medical issues that cause excess fluid buildup in the body. Aqua-Ban is classified as a diuretic medication, meaning it helps the body get rid of excess salt and water by increasing urine production.

By facilitating the removal of excess fluid, Aqua-Ban helps reduce swelling and may alleviate associated discomfort. The medication is typically used in conjunction with other treatments to manage conditions that cause fluid retention. Aqua-Ban is available in tablet form and is usually taken orally.
