How come i get these horrible foot cramps on diurectics?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Potassium depletion: Use of diuretics can potentially deplete potassium from the body. See your doctor to have your potassium level checked, and to have this addressed. They can also look to other causes of foot cramps.
