I was recently prescribed Mannitol 25% Inj, 50ml to help with brain swelling after a surgery. I've heard it can be a bit intense, but my doctor assured me it's necessary. Has anyone else had experience with this? Were the side effects as bad as they sound? I'm especially worried about the serious ones like kidney problems or acidosis. Any advice or similar experiences would be greatly appreciated!
