My doctor prescription me a medication and said I must drink 2L of water each day to make sure the medication will have maximum strength. Why does me peeing all day make the medication work better?

I've found caffeine, and especially whatever they put in energy drinks, only interacts with my body in a helpful way when I'm not dehydrated. A Monster on a sweaty day does not get my ditches dug unless I'm chugging water too. Sorry I have no insight why, but maybe your med is a little like that.

Or perhaps it will cause the buildup of something toxic in your system if you aren't drinking enough water to flush it or its metabolic byproducts out.
