Side Effects Of Omnacortil, Pengraf, Dytor

My wife is suffering from MCD (Minimal Change Disease) and has been prescribed the above drugs by the Nephrologist. However, she has started experiencing acute cramps all over her legs and hands. Please advice or share experience.

I am not a medical doctor but have some understanding of the diuretic due to use of these on my parents. The cramps are a result of loss of potassium due to use of Lasix type of diuretic, and reduced loss of potassium due to use of Dytor type of diuretic. Normally potassium chloride is recommended to substitute for potassium loss and to take care of the cramps.
My advice is to see a good physician and get an opinion on this. Cramps are highly debilitating and painful and hence I am responding to this.
My mother who had been on prolonged dytor use had cramps especially on legs. After stopping of dytor (which was a wrong prescription realised lately), she has much much reduced cramps.
