I am supposed to be taking furomeside but I can t take it due to it causes excruciating leg cramps. The pain is so bad I want to kill myself. I am Type 2 diabetic diet controlled. My legs and feet swell. I wear compression hose which helps some. I am very fatigued.
Hi. Muscle cramps is one of the known side effects of furosemide. Ibwould suggest my patient for investigations to look into serum electrolytes. A dip in potassium levels sometimes can cause these types of symptoms. If this is the reason in your case, then it can be managed accordingly. Hope the above information helps you. Thanks.
