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.
