Effects typically begin within 15 minutes and last up to 8 hours.Common side effects from medical use include electrolyte problems and dehydration. Other serious side effects may include worsening heart failure and kidney problems. It is unclear if use is safe in pregnancy.

It is on the World Health Organization's List of Essential Medicines, the most effective and safe medicines needed in a health system.
