Hearing loss (ototoxicity) has been associated with Exna K only in case of rapid injection, severe kidney impairment, and the use of higher than recommended doses. It is a known side effect of this drug and it occurs only in few cases.

Dr. Abhijit MBBS , General Physician

Long-term use of Exna K along with inadequate intake of electrolytes may cause low potassium in your body by increasing the excretion of potassium in the urine. This can result in symptoms such as muscle cramps, weakness, and tiredness.

Yes, Exna K reduces the blood pressure. It works by increasing the rate of urine formation by inhibiting the sodium and potassium reabsorption from the kidney, this leads to decrease in blood volume and blood pressure which provides relief from swelling and high blood pressure to the patient. 

Dr. Amit Singh MBBS , General Physician

Yes, Exna K is safe to use, if taken in prescribed amount and duration as advised by the doctor. However, certain side effects have been associated with this drug such as hypokalemia (decreased levels of potassium), hyperuricemia (increased levels of uric acid), diarrhoea, headache, and dizziness. If you experience any discomfort after taking this do inform your doctor. 

Dr. Suhas Bhargav MBBS , General Physician

Exna K is not meant to reduce weight and it can be harmful for patients to take this medicine without doctor's advice because it can cause dehydration due to excessive urination which results in loss of electrolytes from your body. Loss of electrolytes from your body can cause symptoms such as muscle cramps, weakness, and tiredness.
