In reply to Can increased water intake affect med response?, posted by Rick on June 11, 2002, at 11:09:37
That's a really good question. I drink about 10 glasses a day. Water is supposed to energize you, rather than make you feel sluggish, so your sluggishness may not be water related. It's also supposed to improve your metabolism, which may mean speeding up the absorption of your meds. I am inclined to guess (which is not helpful to you, I'm sure!) that, since health experts recommend everyone drink at least eight glasses a day, it shouldn't affect your meds or flush them out any sooner. It's an amount you should probably be drinking anyway.
Iso? Are you there? We need you!
