| Weight Loss | Water pills--Help or not? | Jun 25 2007 14:55 (UTC) |

| Water pills get rid of water, period. It doesn't even need to be excess water. So, you're taking water pills and drinking lots of water, very confusing (and possibly detrimental and dangerous) to your kidneys and renal function. If it is not a potassium-sparing water pill, you could be causing an electrolyte derangement that could lead to heart failure, kidney damage, etc.
Water pills are a dangerous, short term fix. |
