My aunt has high blood pressure and high cholesterol but she was taken off her blood pressure pills but she is still on her cholesterol pills. She is retaining a lot of water in her ankles so she wants to take Diurex. Is it safe to take with her cholesterol pills wiht them or no? How much water should she drink with it?

Also what are some other things she can do beside the pills to get rid of extra wate rin her body?
Also, when should she stop taking the pills?

VITAMIN Pills?

VITAMIN Pills?
Ok, So I bought these vitamin pills (Centrum Multi-Vitamin). I am a college student who is living on campus, and I just absolutely hate the food options. So I keep eating the same thing everyday...Because of this I am not getting the right vitamins, and I am noticing changes in my body...For example, I have noticed that my nails are changing color..(they are getting brown streaks in them....it's quite unattractive)....What I want to know is If I start taking the pills now...will I see a difference in my nails by summer....(I'm concerned because all I wear in the summer is sandals and open toe shoes)....And I don't like dark nail polish....

Thank You

Hair Growth Vitamin – Help?

I have extremely slow growing hair. I cut it in Feb. of 2007 into a bob haircut, where my hair sat maybe in the middle of my ears, and now November of 2009 it is only two-three inches below my chin. My hair is also thin, too. Both of these issues are annoying, and frankly I am tired of having my hair so short.

My friend, who also has the same type of hair and the same problems I do, started to take prenatel vitamins and her hair grew rather quickly. She told me I should try some hair vitamins, so I bought this vitamin called California Natural Hair. (http://www.herbalremedies.com/hairvitamins.html)
I have been taking it for three days now, and plan on taking the pills if they work, if they don't then I am planning on switching to prenatel vitamins. My question is has anyone tried this vitamins? Did they cause hair growth, and if they did, how long did it take for your hair to grow?

Thank you very much for your time.

Can I get vitamin A toxicity from vitamin pills?

So, I've started taking centrums to get my daily vitamins, but lately I think I've been getting a little too much beta-carotene. My pretty yellow-orange fingers can attest to it. So, anyway, I know beta-carotene can be flushed out by the kidneys since it's water soluble, but 70% of the vitamin A in the pill is not beta-carotene, which means it's probably retinol or some other variety of fat-soluble Vitamin A. The bottle lists 90% daily value per pill. I'm wondering if I might be getting too much fat soluble vitamin A and if I could get Hypervitaminosis A from taking the pills. I'd rather not have to stop taking them, so if someone could tell me if it's safe or not that would be great.
