Diuretics are commonly used to treat conditions where the body retains too much fluid, such as in pulmonary edema and heart failure, by helping to eliminate excess fluid. They are also used to manage hypertension by reducing the volume of fluid in the blood vessels, which lowers blood pressure. However, they are not used for hypotension, as they would exacerbate the condition by further lowering blood pressure. Diuretics are not indicated for the treatment of seizures.
