Can I take Asprin and Furosemide together?

Varför detta händer

Both drugs compete to be cleared out of the body by the kidneys. Furosemide also relies on certain natural chemicals called prostaglandins to work properly; aspirin blocks these chemicals, which stops the furosemide from working as well. Furthermore, furosemide can slow down the removal of aspirin from your system, leading to a buildup.

If you are taking low-dose aspirin (75mg to 150mg) for heart protection, this is usually safe, but your doctor should still monitor your blood pressure and kidney function. Avoid taking high-dose aspirin (for pain or fever) while on furosemide without consulting your doctor. Seek medical advice if you notice increased swelling in your legs, shortness of breath, or ringing in your ears (tinnitus).
