The following are some side effects of diuretics:
- Diuretics can cause extreme weight loss, light-headedness, or increased blood pressure.
- Diuretics make you urinate more. You may want to take diuretics early in the morning and/or afternoon. This will help you avoid having to get up at night to urinate.
- Some diuretics can cause loss of potassium from the body.
