Diuretic abuse, as well as causing dehydration, can lead to fluid retention and weight gain. In an attempt to adjust to the diuretic effects, the body will retain water. Abusing this type of medication can also lead to dizzy spells and fainting. Diuretics are commonly used to lower blood pressure. So, in a person with normal blood pressure, the diuretic effects can cause hypotension. Diuretics are not meant to be weight loss tools and can cause serious side effects including, but not limited to, increased uric acid levels and hypokalemia.
Be aware that overuse of diuretics can also cause dehydration. While over-the-counter diuretics for water retention are sometimes used to drop a few pounds quickly, they are not generally recommended for weight loss. They do not remove body fat, only water weight, which is not permanent weight loss. They also tend to be abused, increasing health risks.
