Drug Interactions between torsemide and valdecoxib

If you use torsemide for the treatment of high blood pressure, talk to your doctor before using it together with valdecoxib. Combining these medications may reduce the effects of torsemide in lowering your blood pressure, especially if you use valdecoxib frequently or regularly (for example, to treat arthritis or chronic pain). You may need a dose adjustment or more frequent monitoring of your blood pressure and kidney function to safely use both medications. You should avoid being dehydrated while using these medications to minimize risk of kidney problems. It is important to tell your doctor about all other medications you use, including vitamins and herbs. Do not stop using any medications without first talking to your doctor.
