I believe this medication is causing me nausea and severe diarrhea. It usually happens in the evenings and i cant tell you its not a coincidence and i have some sort of flu but this all started the first day i took it.

This drug is satisfactory, although it does not seem to be as effective as either Hydrodiuril or Dyrenium, both of which I have used previously. Dyrenium is very, very expensive, so this Amiloride is a decent substitute. My favorite is still Hydrodiuril (hydrochlorothiazide). I'm on a very low dose of Amiloride, and I take it for water retention, but it should also lower my BP, which it does not seem to have done -- would probably need a higher dose to lower BP, and I'm not into high doses of any drug. I plan to stay on Amiloride. I've had no side effects from Amiloride, but then I've never had any side effects with any drug I've taken. Read More Read Less

This drug is causing me all kinds of problems, fatigue, kidney, cramps in hands and feet. It was supossed to help my blood pressure but that isn't the case either.
