HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

Medications are used to treat whatever medical conditions are present.
In many cases, medications have multiple uses and many persons are on multiple meds at one time.

Furosemide is a diuretic- can mainly be used in hypertension, heart failure
Amlopdipine- used in hypertension
Lorazepam- used as a sleep aid or temporarily to reduce anxiety
Losarten- also used in hypertension, heart failure , after heart attack or as a kidney protective agent in diabetes
Atorvastatin- for high cholesterol
Tolderodine- used to treat overactive bladder
Potassium- to help maintain normal potassium levels
Esomeprazole- help with acid reflux

If you have concerns regarding her medications then you should consider speaking to her doctor about her medical conditions and treatment.

I hope this helps
