Sintesi

Two loop diuretics given together have additive effects on fluid and electrolyte loss, with a high risk of hypokalemia, hypomagnesemia, hypovolemia and ototoxicity. There is rarely a reason to combine them.

Cosa significa questa interazione in parole semplici

Ethacrynic acid and Torsemide can interact in a way that may be serious. Using them together is sometimes necessary, but it needs a deliberate decision by the prescriber, a plan for monitoring, and clear advice on the warning signs to watch for.

Ethacrynic acid belongs to Cardiovascular; Torsemide belongs to Cardiovascular.

Livello di evidenza: Moderate

Perché avviene

Both inhibit the Na-K-2Cl cotransporter in the thick ascending limb, producing additive diuresis and ototoxic potential.

Cosa fare

Avoid concurrent use; use a single loop diuretic at an adjusted dose, or add a thiazide if more diuresis is needed. If combined, monitor electrolytes, renal function and hearing.

Cosa chiedere al farmacista
