Brief Answer:
safely fly

Detailed Answer:
Hi

Your friend is taking group of medication called diuretics.

Diuretics increase urine excretion of both water and electrolytes and are commonly called water tablets.

They inhibit electrolyte reabsorption from the lumen of the nephron, increasing osmolarity and enhancing water excretion. increase water and salt excretion from the kidneys and helps in the reduction of ascites.

He can safely fly from Townsville tomorrow.
