Question about Duretics   

I've been taking a water pill for years. However, I think it's important to only get through your doctor. I have no problem with being on these at all but am monitored through blood tests every so often. They are usually given along with blood pressure pills. I would suggest your friend sees a doctor to make sure it's safe. In fact, my pills are only refilled through the doctor's prescription.

Your friend should check with a doctor before she starts anything like that as all medication must be filtered by the body to do any good. This means extra work for the Liver and in the case of diuretics the Kidneys are also brought into play.

I am diabetic and I have a water retention problem which is controlled with the use of diuretics. The indication that I have when I retain water is swelling in my feet and legs.

But tell her that she should see her doctor before she starts any medicines or supplements. Remember even the large companies like GNC, Amway, or Weight watchers, are there to make a profit and they are not doctors so they have no way of knowing if the vit or min supplyment they are selling you will work with what meds you are taking.

She needs to see a doctor. If she is retaining water it could be due to a serious condition. You don't retain water for no reason and if she takes a diuretic medication without knowing why, she could cause more harm. I'm thinking kidney failure... if her kidneys have slowed down, a diuretic could mean a death sentence, stressing them to the point of failure. There are other situations that could be serious, too. Tell her she needs to see a doctor.

When we reach our target level of earnings, mylot will bank on the 15th day of the next month or sooner.
If you do not make your target then it will roll over till the next month or until you do reach your target.

But you must have your Account set up (paypal) for all this to happen.

See I did read the other discussion, And NO I do not know why?, but maybe Guidelines (at bottom of page)may help you to WHY?

I am not surprised that your friend is blamin water retention on her weight problem. As a personal trainer I would say over half the people say the same thing to me after their weight in. "OH, I retain water!" And?? I wondor to myself ok so thats about one or two pounds what about the other 30 pounds? But i do not say it. They are not a smart thimg to do. It could lower her blood pressure too much and also cause a potasium defeciency. If anything drink MORE water and take a good Vitamin B complex along with a good multi.

Diuretics are not meant to be taken without a doctors advice. They cause water to come out as urine and also seriously affect the electrolyte and salt balance in your body.
For your weight gain/ water retention problem a doctor will ascertain the cause - is it a problem with your kidneys, your heart or blood pressure.
