So I was bored and decided to look up spiro on WebMD.
Then I found something strange:
Wait, what? Spiro causing increased thirst or a change in the amount of urine is a serious side effect? Isn't that exactly what a diuretic is supposed to do?!
There really isn't much point to this post, but have any of you seen these listed as serious side effects elsewhere?
Then I found something strange:
Quote from: WebMDTell your doctor immediately if any of these unlikely but serious side effects occur: dizziness, increased thirst, change in the amount of urine, mental/mood changes, unusual fatigue/weakness, muscle spasms, menstrual period changes, breast enlargement (gynecomastia) in men, sexual function problems.
