Absolutely NOT! First of all, Diurex is NOT an approved diuretic. It is an over-the-counter dietary supplement piece of garbage and has NO regulation, much less, any evidence based research. If your doctor has prescribed you Norvasc for your blood pressure, then let HIM/HER be the one to decide whether or not you need to add a diuretic. I do not care what some Pharmacist suggested -- they are NOT medical providers. If your blood pressure is coming down, but not necessarily to goal (130/85 or below), then there s a reason for this. Bringing you down TOO FAST will likely make you VERY symptomatic; dizzy, nauseated, etc. Let the medicine do it s job. Monitor your blood pressure daily (twice is best), and follow up as recommended. THEN...maybe they ll add a diuretic. Best of luck!

Can You Take Diurex (caffeine Free Water Pills) when Prescribed Norvasc for High Blood Pressure? -
I am a 22 yr old who was just recently prescribed Norvasc for stage 2 hypertension. My BP was 159/108 the other day. After taking Norvasc it has went down some but not ideally. I have read alot about diuretics helping your bp amp; if you have stage 2 then you may need to take more than one prescription/diurectic to reach your goal bp. The pharmasist said I should get Diurex Water Cappsules~Caffeine Free~ to help. I was just wondering if anyone had taken a combination of the two and how it worked for them. I am new at the BP thing and any usefull information would be greatly appreciated! Thanks.
