Common Side Effects
Some people may experience dizziness, headache, or stomach upset when starting treatment. Because it is potassium-sparing, it is important to avoid excessive intake of potassium-rich foods or salt substitutes unless advised by your doctor. If you experience severe symptoms like irregular heartbeat or muscle weakness, contact your doctor immediately.
