Hello,
Welcome to Healthcare Magic,
Every safe drug will have some minor side effect, but we should weigh the risk vs benefits. I do agree what you have read on internet about side effects , but you must have to use to get rid off your fluid.
Any way i am giving you the alternates for those drugs, but make sure that you should discuss with your family doctor before start using.
