Hi There

I understand your concern, DIURETICS have their own side effects as they alter your serum electrolytes, So i would like to suggest you to consult your treating doctor regarding this issue. If you are not feeling good with the new medicine and you were doing fine with the old one then you can continue the old medicines but it's advisable to discuss with your doctor personally before doing that.

I wish you good luck
