Side effects

The instructions to Diuver indicated that the drug may cause side effects from some body systems, namely:

• Hyponatremia, hypomagnesemia, metabolic alkalosis, hypochloremia, hypocalcemia and hypokalemia (water-electrolyte and acid-base balance);
• Excessive reduction in blood pressure, tachycardia, arrhythmia, orthostatic hypotension, decrease in circulating blood volume and collapse (cardiovascular system);
• Hypercholesterolemia, hypertriglyceridemia, a transient increase in the concentration of urea and creatinine in the blood (metabolism);
• Oliguria, decreased potency, acute urinary retention, hematuria, and interstitial nephritis (urinary system);
• Nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, acute pancreatitis, intrahepatic cholestasis and increased activity of liver enzymes (digestive system);
• Hearing impairment, tinnitus and paresthesia (nervous system).

• Pruritus, urticaria, erythema multiforme, exfoliative dermatitis, purpura, fever, vasculitis, eosinophilia, and photosensitization;
• Thrombocytopenia, leukopenia, agranulocytosis, aplastic or hemolytic anemia.

Symptoms of an overdose of Diuvera are an excessive increase in diuresis, accompanied by a decrease in the volume of circulating blood and an electrolyte imbalance of the blood, gastrointestinal disorders, drowsiness, lower blood pressure, collapse and confusion.

In such cases, it is necessary to cancel the drug or reduce its dose, to carry out gastric lavage, to appoint activated charcoal and symptomatic therapy.

special instructions

Patients with long-term use of Diuvera in high doses should follow a diet with a sufficient amount of salt in food and take potassium preparations in order to avoid the development of such conditions as:

• Hypokalemia;
• Metabolic alkalosis;
• Hyponatremia.

It should be borne in mind that during therapy with Diuver patients with renal insufficiency may develop disorders of water and electrolyte balance. In this regard, it is recommended that patients in this group periodically monitor the concentration of electrolytes in the blood plasma, creatinine, the acid-base state, uric acid and residual nitrogen, and, if necessary, carry out appropriate corrective therapy.

Patients in the period of use of Diuvera should refrain from conducting potentially hazardous activities that require increased attention and speed of psychomotor reactions.
