Could HCG Diet Be Followed Without Any Contraindication With Other Medicines?

I plan on going on the HCG diet, but I take several medications and would like to know if any are contraindicated in this case.

The main medication is Triamterine which is a diuretic that I take along with my BP med which is Atelenol. I also tale Lipitor and Klor-Con for Hypokalemia. The HCG drops that I plan to purchace have 13,600 IU of HCG and Geranium extract which I researched and it works as a diuretic. Your perspectiv eon this would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
