Diuretics?

[Vieope]

I have been quite carbs and sodium friendly in the last weeks and I need some quick fix to feel all deserty inside, in two days. I heard of taraxatone and dandelion roots, what works faster than them? Does green tea help with water retention?
Thanks

Hey nice people, I just bought some lasix(furosemide). Each pill has 40mg how much should I take it? Using it for one day is enough? Should I supplement with potassium and drink some gatorade as well for my electrolytes? How much liquid should I expect to drop?

Lasix is an extremely powerful diuretic that can dramatically flush out electolytes in the urine. It has been responsible for more hospitalizations than any other drug in bodybuilding.

I was about to swallow the pill when I read this...
Do you think that 20mg or 40mg used only once is still dangerous?

Anybody else to comment?
I think bawling might help.

How much does it say to take on the box???

 

[nikegurl]

i wouldn't screw with it. drink tons of water and you'll drop the water you're holding. not worth the risk imho

It should be safe to take if you ONLY take the amount recommended on the packaging though.

Here are the two most respectful links that I found. In the box it says an adult may take from 40mg to 80mg. I am considering taking 20mg. I am a little bit hesitant because in every bodybuilding article I read it says the exact same thing GoPro said, that it is extremely dangerous but maybe only with prolonged use? The good part is that it can drop almost 8 lbs of water.

I didn't realize Lasix is for high blood pressure and not meant as a diurectic alone. Maybe you should just go with the 20mg if that.

Yes it is but I read that it doesn´t affect normal blood pressure. I need to find the link to that..

Hey if the Lasix doesn't work out for you you could take Yasmin, it has a diuretic in it

Hey!

Lasix is so tempting because it is supposed to work so well, I read about people droping 6 to 8 lbs of water. I know it is just for one day but it sounds good. I will buy some gatorade, and potassium with calcium supplement when I take the 20mg dose.

What is the purpose of dropping water for one day? Also, the water will not only come from subQ stores, but also from muscle, which makes them look a bit flat.

Hey GoPro and Rex, well the beach is the reason for droping the water for just one day and it would be nice to know that I can take this pill any time I want if I get too much water retention. In U.S the pilll needs prescription, here it is sold OTC.
Actually I have no idea how much those urine cardboard things look like but it must be a lot for you to mention. Any of you know with what I can fight the effects of a diuretics if it become too strong? Obviously water, potassium, calcium and gatorade for more electrolytes, anything else? Thanks
