Worked extremely well and quickly to remove extra fluids. Took extra potassium at the same time. Within 24 hours breathing was eased significantly and coughing almost stopped.

I have to take this medication for fluid retention. The side effect of muscle cramping is unbearable. Arms, legs, fingers, toes neck and rib cage cramp simultaniously and so severely I fall and cannot move. The pain is excruciating.

It cleared up the edema in my legs, then gave me a very painful episode of gout. I don't normally get gout, so it took a while to figure out what was causing it. But I stopped having the gout symptoms after I stopped taking Zaroxolyn.

Although the drug effectively reduced the fluid retention in my legs, I had a difficult time controlling potassium and magnesium. Has resulted in muscle cramps, dizzyness and weakness. It should be noted that I was taking extra Mag.and potassium. but still had problems
