Question: Good pm.Currently i am on Millinette(birt control) 20/75 which i gain a little bit weight with this.i would like to try XXXXXXX as i heard this birt control XXXXXXX has some diuretic effects and help to take out fluids from body
Brief Answer:
yes, it has a diuretic effect
Detailed Answer:
HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
Yes, as you stated, XXXXXXX does have a diuretic effect meaning that there would be loss of fluids. The amount varies slightly from one person to the next and in many persons may not be associated with significant change in weight.
Unfortunately some medications can cause weight gain such as birth control that you were using before.
They can do this in different ways: (1) increasing appetite
(2)decreasing or affecting satiety or fullness
(3)decreasing energy level and therefore physical activity
(4)altering metabolism
You can ask your doctor to switch you to XXXXXXX and also monitor these mechanisms as well.
To avoid weight gain with medications with this side effect, need to be conscious of any increase in appetite or energy (activity) and purposely use foods that would not likely cause weight gain and also make sure to remain active.
I hope this helps , feel free to ask any other questions
