I have been diagnosed with congestive heart failure. Thism of course causes retention of fluids in my body when I ingest excessive sodium. My cardiologist originally prescribed Lasix and furosemide for control of this problem. In the meantime, as the V.A. is accustomed to often doing, their "system" changed my therapy to Spironolactone plus furosemide. I have just read on one webb page that cautions against using these two together.As a matter of fact it said in my language, "don't do it"! Who's wrong here? or better, who's right? Or am I just missing something here?
Is it safe to use Furosimide in conjunction with Spironolactone?

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.
