Can I take Aspirin and Furosemide together?

لماذا يحدث هذا

Both drugs compete to be cleared out of the body by the kidneys. Aspirin can block the kidneys from responding to furosemide, meaning you don't pass as much urine. Furthermore, because they use the same 'exit route' in the kidneys, taking them together can slow down how quickly aspirin leaves your system.

If you are taking low-dose aspirin (75mg to 150mg) for heart protection, the interaction is usually small, but you should still have your kidney function and blood pressure monitored by your GP. Avoid taking high-dose aspirin (for pain or fever) while on furosemide. If you notice increased swelling in your ankles, shortness of breath, or ringing in your ears, contact your doctor.

الربو

Do not take aspirin if you have a history of asthma, as it can trigger a severe or life-threatening asthma attack.

الأطفال دون سن 16 عامًا

Never give aspirin to children or teenagers under 16 unless specifically prescribed by a doctor, due to the risk of Reye’s syndrome, a rare but fatal condition.

Dehydration and electrolyte imbalance

Furosemide can cause severe dehydration and low potassium. You must report any signs of extreme thirst, muscle cramps, or dizziness to your doctor immediately.

الكحول

شرب الكحول أثناء تناول الأسبرين يمكن أن يزيد من خطر تهيج المعدة والنزيف. من الأفضل تقليل تناول الكحول أو تجنبه إذا كان لديك تاريخ من مشاكل المعدة.

Liquorice (Natural) / Liquorice Root

Eating large amounts of natural liquorice can cause your body to lose potassium and retain salt and water. This can counteract the effects of furosemide and lead to dangerously low potassium levels.
