Hi,
Frucimide is a diuretic so passing more urine is naturally.
As he has some cardiac problem, cardiologist advised this medicine to cut down the load on the heart.
You can not stop frucemide without asking to your cardiologist.
Due to diuretic weight gain is definitely hampered but at the same time un usual weight gain is also will be a sign of warning.
Remain in regular follow up with your treating doctor.
Ok and take care.
