A diuretic will make you pee a lot. It will cause dehydration. I've been on spironolactone, a diuretic for half a year now. Perscriptions come with pamphlets stating their side effect too if you need to know more about what you're taking.

Yes, the specific purpose of diuretics is to relieve your body of excess body fluid. You'll lose pounds while taking it, but it's all water leaving your body. If you're bloated, then this is a good thing. But taking diuretics when they're not needed can take a bad toll on a lot of things, including your digestion; you're body needs water. Unless you are actually retaining excess body water, I don't advise taking diuretics.
