Resumo

Carbenoxolone has mineralocorticoid-like activity causing sodium retention and potassium loss, which adds to bumetanide-induced hypokalemia. Severe hypokalemia can cause arrhythmias and muscle weakness, and the sodium retention may oppose the diuretic effect.

O que esta interação significa em palavras simples

Bumetanide and Carbenoxolone 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.

Nível de evidência: Moderate

Por que acontece

Additive renal potassium wasting, with carbenoxolone causing mineralocorticoid-like sodium retention through inhibition of 11-beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase.

O que fazer

Avoid the combination where possible, or monitor serum potassium closely and replace potassium as required. Consider a potassium-sparing diuretic if both drugs must be continued.
