(e.g., swelling of face, eyes, lips, tongue, larynx and extremities; difficulty in swallowing or breathing;
hoarseness) and to discontinue therapy.
Patients should be told to report promptly any indication of infection (e.g., sore throat, fever),which may be a
sign of neutropenia, or of progressive edema which might be related to proteinuria and nephrotic syndrome.

blood pressure because of reduction in fluid volume. Other causes of volume depletion such as vomiting or diarrhea

salt substitutes without consulting their physician.
