Can Frequent Use Of Fruselac Cause Any Problem?

I am 76. Weight 47 kg.s (instead of 58 kg.s normal weight permissible for my height of 5’ 2”. ( From childhood itself I was of underweight. I had never any problem because of my underweight.) At 60 years, I retitred happily on superannuation. After retirement too, I have been active, busy in my Township Office Matters in Hyderabad. My habits include waking for 1 0 r 2 km., easily at a stretch without fatigue or any difficulty,(likewise, I can climb stairs up or down), if I do not have swollen foot. For the past about 10 years I was found to be a High blood sugar non-insulin Diabetic. I follow Lifelong prescription of Glycophage 1-0-1, Glador 1-0-0, Olmat 20 ½-0-0, Clopilet 0-1-0 tablets and Meconerve cap. 0-1-0 and Turbovan tab. 1-0-0. I take cooked broken wheat and avoid rice. Likewise, I avoid green or hot chillies and my food aticles are generally the least salted. Likewise, I avoid oily foods and sweets, for them, I do not have a liking. Instead of chillies, I take Black Pepper and Black Pepper Powder. On 13-12-2011, I got one loose and shaking Molar extracted under local anaesthesia injection into the gum. Within about 2 Hours, the pain due to the extraction injury subsided. The dentist wanted my latest blood sugar report before she extracted. I produced the latest lab report dated 12.12.2011 showing Blood sugar level of 85 mg., which was within the range permissible of 80/140. I can read newsprint or computer screen,without spects. I use spects to decipher bus Nos. My Eyes test report of 28.11.2011 is: R.E.sph 3.00. LE sph. 3.00.; Both eyes VA 6/9. Your kind guidance is requested for the following, now: About an year back, when I was for a brief time in Bhopal, I experienced left foot swelling or inflammation impairing my daily walking. I consulted then and there, the local doctor available. I was prescribed FRUSILAC TABLET TO BE TAKEN IN THE MORNINGS. The complaint subsided within two days. I left Bhopal shortly thereafter. Now I am in Bangalore. Occasionally, the Complaint has been recurring. I resort to taking FRUSILAC AND THE COMPLAINT SUBSIDES IN TWO DAYS. ARE THERE ANY RISKS IN (FREQUENT) USE OF FRUSILAC? ANY RISKS IN ITS USE? WOULD YOU PLEASE SPELL OUT ANY PRECAUTIONS (Do.s and Don.s ) in its use for my Guidance, dear Doctor. Thanking you, YYYY@YYYY 26th Dec. 2011 ))

Hi,

Frequent and long term use of diuretics can cause dehydration, electrolyte disturbances, muscle spasms or weakness, decreased calcium in blood and increased uric acid in blood and can even lead to renal stones and damage. Kindly check your serum electrolytes ,uric acid and renal function.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
