Brief Answer:
Excessive fluid depletion, low potassium, dizziness, etc....

Detailed Answer:
HI,

The main side effects are those linked with excessive fluid loss such as frequent urination, dizziness, excessive fatigue and tiredness, body weakness, etc. You could also have dry mouth, abdominal cramps, etc.

Though these side effects are real, the benefits from this medication outweigh them. I will suggest that you talk with your doctor on the reasons for this drug and see whether carrying on s of absolute necessity or could be replaced with another.

I hope this guides and helps. I wish you well. Feel free to follow up with me if need be.
