I take 1/2 tablet s daily dose. I'm not good at splitting the small tablets. But it's working - my edema is lessening.

I have been taking this for a month now and did reduce all my edema in legs and ankles. I did experience muscle cramping, mostly in the abdomen area and arms. I realized either losing too much fluid or not drinking enough. It seemed much better by drinking more water. Also helps to take only 1/2 tab everyother day.

I have only been taking this for a couple of weeks, and I have bad leg and back cramps. I also get an upset stomach even being on Prilosec. I have not seen any change in the swelling. I really don't know if this pill is really helping.

I have very low blood pressure as a norm for me, usually 116/68 sometimes lower, this drug lowered my BP to dangerous level 80/50, I got dizzy, had awful headaches, it did not release rention like I needed it to. I felt like I was going to die on this medication.

My cardiologist prescribed this because the combination bp/diuretic I was taking was lowering my Potassium level and this one doesn't. After taking it for about 6 months I had an eye check and my opthamalogist couldn't find why my vision has deteriorated so rapidly. Today I read all the fine print that comes with this drug and find it can cause vision loss and eye pain. Has anyone else noticed this side effet ? ( I will definitely discuss it at next eye appt.)

I have been taking this for a month now and it's worked wonders, my feet and ankles are no longer swollen and i have an easier time walking. However, at times it makes me really dizzy and/or nauseus.

I was tired of hearing you look tired. my eyes looked like I been crying all night and my face looked puffy and tired. I notice I hardly pee. With these medication, I urinate more often and im not so puffy. I really dont want to stop taking these medication. Ive been on it for over five years now and no side effect.
