Brief Answer:
it may cause side effects but it's not very likely

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

you can never eliminate the risk for side effects no matter the dosage but I can say that at such a low dose the risk is very low. You shouldn't take it if you have a very low blood pressure (systolic around 90mmHg) or low potassium levels. Remember to always ask your doctor before trying new drugs.

I hope it helps!
Kind Regards!
