Diuretics not working!

[LAB03]

My father,90,is suffering from Congestive Heart Failure (CHF).Doctors have suggested Spiromide 40 mg daily.In the beginning it worked very well but since a few weeks it is not properly working and he has got a very bad cough.He has no edema at the moment but cough is very painful.Diuretic makes very little water.Is there any other diuretic which could better replace Spiromide 40 mg?

I'm a heart patient and my doctor prescribed Hydrochlorothiazide. Your father should ask to try something else.
