Summary
Opioids can stimulate antidiuretic hormone release, which promotes water retention and may blunt the diuretic response to torsemide. Reduced urine output or less effective control of edema and blood pressure may result.
What this interaction means in plain words
Oliceridine and Torsemide have a small, usually unimportant interaction. Most people can take both; the pharmacist may still mention it so that any unexpected effect is recognised.
Oliceridine belongs to Musculoskeletal; Torsemide belongs to Cardiovascular.
Why it happens
Opioid-induced antidiuretic hormone release opposes the diuretic effect of torsemide.
What to do
Monitor urine output, weight and blood pressure when oliceridine is given to patients on torsemide. Increase the torsemide dose if diuresis is inadequate.
