TO whom ever it may concern,
I am currently using hydrochloro thiazide
to treat my hypertension.
Over the course of time that I have been using this drug, I have experienced weight loss.
I was wondering since diuretics are used for people who want to lose weight, is this drug a possible factor in me losing weight.

Hi rbell: Yes diuretics are TOTALLY the reason for your weight loss! Depending on your age we are between 50 and 75% water 75% being a baby and 50% being an elderly person. So think of a lot of that water coming out of your body - due the diuretics. Just be careful that you don't loose too much water, eg Feeling dry mouthed, fatigued etc. And now that it is water loss not fat loss :'( :-( And I'm sure you already know this but you really have to watch your sodium intake - as it will counteract your diuretics. Good luck and health
