excuse me?


The prescription for urethritis was EsidriNegacide.
After taking it, I felt an increased heart rate, shortness of breath, and unsteadiness while walking.
After visiting the hospital, the doctor mentioned that the diuretic prescribed might be the cause.

Dr. Liu Jianting reply Urology


It is true that some individuals may experience reactions after taking medication, but this does not necessarily indicate that the treatment is ineffective.
It is advisable to discuss any related treatment reactions thoroughly with your treating physician, as this information can be useful for future treatments.

More Info


EsidriNegacide is not a widely recognized medication in the medical literature, and it appears that there may be some confusion regarding its name or classification. However, based on the context of your question, it seems that you are dealing with a urological condition, possibly related to urinary tract infections (UTIs) or urethritis, and have been prescribed a medication that has led to some concerning side effects.

When considering the side effects of medications prescribed for urological conditions, it is essential to understand that many drugs can have various effects on the body, particularly when they influence fluid balance, heart rate, and overall metabolism. Diuretics, which are commonly used to treat conditions like hypertension and edema, can lead to increased urination, electrolyte imbalances, and dehydration. These effects can sometimes manifest as rapid heart rate (tachycardia), shortness of breath, and unsteadiness while walking, especially if the body is losing too much fluid or if there are changes in electrolyte levels.


Potential Side Effects of Diuretics:
1. Electrolyte Imbalance: Diuretics can lead to low potassium (hypokalemia) or low sodium (hyponatremia), which can cause symptoms such as muscle weakness, cramps, and irregular heart rhythms.

2. Dehydration: Increased urination can lead to dehydration, which may cause dizziness, confusion, and increased heart rate as the body attempts to maintain blood pressure.

3. Kidney Function: In some cases, diuretics can affect kidney function, particularly if there is pre-existing kidney disease. Monitoring kidney function is essential when using these medications.

4. Orthostatic Hypotension: This is a drop in blood pressure when standing up, which can lead to dizziness or fainting.


Recommendations:
- Monitor Symptoms: If you experience rapid heart rate, shortness of breath, or unsteadiness, it is crucial to report these symptoms to your healthcare provider immediately. They may need to adjust your medication or conduct further evaluations.

- Hydration: Ensure you are adequately hydrated, especially when taking diuretics, as they can lead to increased fluid loss.

- Regular Follow-ups: Regular follow-ups with your healthcare provider are essential to monitor your kidney function and electrolyte levels, particularly if you are on diuretics or any other medications that can affect fluid balance.


Conclusion:
While EsidriNegacide may not be a recognized medication, the side effects you are experiencing could be related to the diuretic component of your treatment. It is essential to communicate openly with your healthcare provider about any side effects you experience, as they can help determine the best course of action to manage your symptoms and ensure your safety. Always consult your doctor before making any changes to your medication regimen or if you have concerns about side effects.
