What class of drugs is used to regulate the level of fluid in the body?

Sedative
Anti-inflammatory
Antipyretic
Diuretic

The correct answer is: Diuretic

Diuretics are a class of drugs that help regulate the level of fluid in the body. They do this by increasing the production of urine and removing excess water and salt from the body. This allows for better fluid balance and can be useful in treating conditions such as edema, high blood pressure, and heart failure. Sedatives (A), anti-inflammatories (B), and antipyretics (C) do not directly affect fluid levels in the body and are used for different purposes. While they may have some indirect effects on fluid regulation, they are not specifically designed for this purpose. Therefore, they are not the correct answer for this question.
