1) Skin Rash or Hives
Patients with an allergy to Loop Diuretics may experience skin abnormalities such as an itchy rash or hives. The skins may become red, swollen and blistering.
2) Shortness of Breath
Difficulty in breathing, wheezing or shortness of breath is another common symptom. This can be due to the tightening of the airways as a reaction to the drug.
3) Swelling of Face, Lips, Tongue, or Throat
Some individuals may experience swelling in parts of the face like the lips, tongue or throat. This occurs as an inflammatory reaction and can potentially obstruct breathing if not addressed promptly.
4) Dizziness or Fainting
An allergic reaction to Loop Diuretics may also cause dizziness or fainting. This could be due to a sudden drop in blood pressure triggered by the reaction to the drug.
5) Vomiting or Diarrhea
Nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea are common gastrointestinal reactions in patients allergic to Loop Diuretics. This symptom represents the body’s attempt to get rid of the allergen.
6) Rapid or Irregular Heartbeat
In some cases, allergic reactions to Loop Diuretics can cause a rapid or irregular heartbeat. This can be due to anaphylaxis, a severe and potentially life-threatening allergic reaction.
