Dr. Robert Killian answered

Specializes in General Practice

Diuretic Pills: Diuretics are used for high blood pressure. Any other use is dangerous, unhealthy, and will never ---and i mean never--lead to weight loss. Please do not follow in the path of women who get obsessed with these pills thinking that some day they will lead to weight loss and it never ever does.

I used to take Cialis 20mg but I opted for the daily 2.5mg one pill currently. If the daily of 2.5mg doesnt work can I increase the daily dosage to 5mg? Or if I don't take it daily and increase it to a safe dosage (10mg - 20mg) will that be okay?
