Ridaq And Furosemide

My mother will be 90 years old in August 2019.
She was prescribed Furosemide 40mg, 2 tablets in the morning and 1 tablet at 2pm. (prescribed after cardiac failure)
She also drinks 1x Ridaq 12.5mg each morning after breakfast.
Other medication is Isosorbide Dinitrate 10, 1 tablet 3x per day.
She drinks +- 1.5lt water pd. She's complaining of having to get to the toilet 4/5x during night +- once every 30-45 during the day. Could the Furosemide and Ridaq dosages too much for her.
Thank you

That is a normal side effect of both Furosemide and the Hydrochlorothiazide in the Ridaq, they are both intended to remove excess fluid from her body to help prevent future congestive heart failure, they can also help to lower high blood pressure.

She should make sure her doctor is aware of how often she is urinating, but she should not stop taking them, or change the dosage, unless they instruct her to do so.

The medications are doing what they are meant to do, but she does have to be careful not to become dehydrated by losing too much fluid.

Is there anything else I can help with?
