Best Answer

A diuretic is something that reduces the amount of water in your body by causing you to urinate more, and more frequently. Diuretics include prescription medications like lasix, and common food ingredients like caffeine. They are often effective in treating high blood pressure.

Are there any Complaints about tripsy?

The only complaint I have ever heard about Tripsy is that pet owners are concerned that it contains a diuretic. However, they do not realize that this diuretic is so small that it does not have any real effect on their pets health. In fact, the other herbs contained in Tripsy actually counteract the diuretic. Overall, Tripsy is great for both cats and dogs in treating kidney issues.
