Dangers of Diet Drugs that Make Frequent Urination

Jakarta, CNN Indonesia —

Diet lose weight instantly tempting. Moreover, lately a lot diet pills which promises fast weight loss without hard work.

However, you need to be careful and not carelessly in choosing drugs for a weight loss diet. The reason is, there is a danger of taking diet drugs, especially those that cause frequent bowel movements and urination.

Nutritionist from Siloam Hospital Inge Permadhi said that drugs that promise to lose weight by making a person urinate or defecate more often should not be used.

According to him, instead of getting rid of fat in the body, diet drugs can actually reduce the amount of fluid the body needs.

“If you use laxatives or drugs that cause a lot of urination and defecation, I don’t agree because they are not in accordance with the concept of drugs that are indeed used for weight loss,” Inge said when contacted by ANTARA, Wednesday (12/22). .

Inge then explained that if a person is overweight or obese, the thing that must be reduced in order to lose body weight is fat and not fluids.

So, the use of diet drugs that make a person often defecate and urinate is not the right solution.

“If he urinates a lot, actually fluids are needed by the body. A fat person doesn’t mean he has to reduce the fluid in his body. But he has too much fat and that must be eliminated,” said Inge.

“So if the weight goes down using the drug, it’s because the fluid is reduced, not the fat is reduced. It’s not okay. In fact, it can cause dehydration or kidney failure, right,” he continued.

Therefore, Inge also suggested that people should not be careless in buying and consuming diet drugs.

You should consult a doctor if you are obese and want to go on a weight loss diet.

“If diet pills are used by nutrition doctors, that’s really okay. It’s been proven that he (drugs) can help,” he said.
