Question 1

taking 10 mg norvasc (amlodipine) and diazepam causing water retention?

Accepted Answer

Edema and drugs: Diazepam (d) by itself rarely causes edema.  Norvasc (amlodipine) can do this and this may be difficult to treat. You should see your physician to make sure you do  not have cardiac, renal or any venous disease of your legs causing this fluid accumulation. Good luck.

Question 8

will using lozol help get rid of water retention?

Accepted Answer

Yes but,: Water pills only do so much. The patient does the most important job; salt and fluid restriction. Beware of salt in processed food and in bread (recent data). If you don't, at least do not mix them! i don't care how much water pills you take, you can sabotage their effect with your intake. If you control fluids and salt you may find yourself not in need for water pills.
