Yes it can cause weight loss as it is a diuretic which means it promotes the elimination of fluid build up in the body. It is also used to treat high blood pressure.

The diuretic effect eliminates water from your body so the loss of fluid decreases your weight. It is usually used to treat edema - excess swelling due to retention of water. Barbara Images available only to Customers.
