A member asked:
Which prescription diuretic would you recommend when otc ones don't work for menstrual bloat? without a "caffeine affect".
A doctor has provided 1 answer
None: There are better options for menstrual cycle control and PMS symptoms than diuretics. Birth control pills, Nuvaring, the patch and Mirena (levonorgestrel) IUD are a few examples and are less dangerous than diuretics
