Is it safe to use Furosimide in conjunction with Spironolactone?

7 Oct 2009

It is fine to use furosemide with spironolactone. There are no known interactions between these medicines. However, this does not necessarily mean no interactions exist so if you experience any odd symptoms please see your doctor.

I am also on Spironolactone this medication will cause access potassium in the body.The Furosemide will remove potassium.The Dr. may have added it for that reason. Keep up with your potassium levels,to high or to low can be very dangerous.Both are for access fluids among other illnesses.Both causes the kidneys to get rid of unneeded water and salt from the body into the urine.So you are on one that retains potassium and one that removes potassium. Both remove salt.Hope this helps.

I have taken both for almost 3 years now. Prescribed by my cardio doctor. I looked on my sheets that come with meds niether say anything about the two drugs interacting. There are alot of warnings on everything on websites, best thing to do to rest your concern is talk to your Doctor and Pharmisist. Just my two cents worth

Yes it is safe to take the two together,Furosimide is a diuretic to keep the fluid levels down in your system but Spironolactone is a potassium spearing drug. If you have congestive heart failure your system is low on potassium and you need it in order to maintain some form of potassium in your body.
