I have to take fluid tablets to reduce the fluid in my ears?

I have vertigo/labyrinthitis. My doc wants me to take fluid tabs for 3-4 weeks.

Im starting them in the morning.

Does anyone have to take fluid tablets?

How long do they take to work?? minutes/hours?

Am I safe to leave the house or do I have to stay by a loo? How long? I have to take one a day in the morning.

Anything I need to be careful of in my diet?

They usually start working within an hour.
I think the first day you stay at home to get an idea of how it acts on you.
About diet you should have asked your doc, there are many kind of fluid pills and accordingly you need any change in diet. Most of the pills make you lose water, sodium and potassium. If it is so, you need to take some potassium otherwise you get hypokalemia, causing symptoms.
Good luck!

Ive taken fluid tablet for excess fluid during PMS. It doesnt agree with me. It completely drains you. I get tired and do go to the toilet alot. Then I tend to get bags under my eyes and shallow under my eyes as well. It gets rid of the excess fluid but I think it takes out alot of nutrients as well. My mother suggested taking potassium when taking fluid tablets as well. But you must check with your doctor first.
I find the fluid tablets take a few hours to work. Just don't let them run you down.

:-O never heard of this before. better get a second opinion... really not sure if it works.
