WATER PILLS


Question Posted Wednesday April 21 2010, 9:01 am

I was just put on water pills (for weight loss) by a medical center. I must take them with a diet pill he gave me and a B12 shot. I am only planning on taking this combination of medications for ONE MONTH, and today is my second day. My concern is, can i have really bad effects from this water pill even if im only taken it every other day for one month? I'm afraid that the long term effects will not be worth it. Also, I was told to drink a gallon of water a day and eat lots of potassium, i know that is true but is there ANYthing else i can do to prevent harming my body while taking these substances. I've read about 12 different columns on the bad effects, though i'd like to hear from someone with some expeirence. Should i drink electrolytes? and is it natural for it to make you pee a lot?

Thank you!

If you are looking for someone with experience in this, I am not that person. I do have excellent advice for you to follow:

Speak to your pharmacist about these medicines. Your doctor doesn't know drugs like the druggist, and they can tell you what to expect, what reactions you may have, what effect the combination of the different pills may have, and any short and long term side effects.

Your pharmacist knows exactly what you are putting into your body and what it will do. Even if you are taking over the counter medicines, they are the most qualified person to get information from on drugs.
