How Does It Work?

Interactions with other medicines

• Concomitant use of antihypertensive medications can cause significant drops in blood pressure.
• Furosemide and anti-arrhythmic medications such as amiodarone, disopyramide, flecainide, and sotalol enhance the risk of cardiotoxicity
• The use of painkillers along with furosemide increases the chances of renal failure.
• Aminoglycosides, polymyxins, and vancomycin are antibiotics that increase the risk of ototoxicity. Aminoglycosides or cefaloridine have a higher risk of nephrotoxicity.
• Following cardiac surgery, furosemide can lower vancomycin blood levels
• Trimethoprim increases the risk of hyponatremia
• Renal impairment can occur in people who are taking furosemide plus high doses of some cephalosporins at the same time.
• Laxatives, antihistamines, CNS stimulants, glycyrrhizin, antifungals, carbenoxolone, and corticosteroids may increase the risk of developing hypokalaemia.
• Cytotoxic medicines used for cancer may increase ototoxicity.
