Furosemide is a potent loop diuretic that acts on the kidney's ascending loop of Henle, where it blocks the sodium-potassium-chloride cotransporter responsible for reabsorbing salt. Preventing that reabsorption forces the kidney to excrete large volumes of sodium and water, rapidly relieving fluid overload. This makes it a mainstay for the edema of heart failure, liver disease, and kidney disease, and a treatment for high blood pressure. A small molecule (C12H11ClN2O5S) with a short half-life of about 2 hours, it produces a brisk, relatively brief diuresis after each dose. Its strong effect on salt handling can also lower potassium and other electrolytes, a consequence of the same transport blockade that drives water loss. Furosemide is an approved diuretic used across acute and chronic fluid-overload states.

This powerful loop diuretic reduces fluid overload by blocking sodium reabsorption in the kidney tubules, causing the kidneys to excrete more water and salt. It is widely used to treat swelling from heart failure, liver disease, and kidney disease, as well as high blood pressure.

Primary Target
Major Furosemide + Lithium Carbonate

Furosemide-induced sodium depletion stimulates compensatory proximal tubular reabsorption of both sodium and lithium, raising lithium levels into the toxic range.

Minor Furosemide + Spironolactone

Furosemide and spironolactone have complementary diuretic mechanisms that together provide more effective decongestion in heart failure; the primary concern is unpredictable electrolyte effects.

Moderate Furosemide + Lisinopril

ACE inhibitors combined with loop diuretics can cause first-dose hypotension and acute kidney injury, particularly in volume-depleted patients.

Moderate Furosemide + Ibuprofen

NSAIDs blunt the diuretic and antihypertensive effects of furosemide and may precipitate acute kidney injury through reduced renal perfusion.

Moderate Furosemide + Metformin

Furosemide can increase metformin plasma concentrations and potentially contribute to lactic acidosis by reducing renal function; furosemide also impairs glucose metabolism and may worsen glycaemic control.

Moderate Furosemide + Hydrochlorothiazide

Sequential nephron blockade with furosemide and thiazide diuretics produces a synergistic diuretic effect that can rapidly cause severe hypovolemia, hyponatremia, and hypokalemia.

Moderate Furosemide + Naproxen

Naproxen reduces the diuretic response to furosemide by inhibiting prostaglandin synthesis, potentially causing fluid retention and worsening edema or heart failure.

Moderate Furosemide + Digoxin

Furosemide-induced hypokalemia and hypomagnesemia increase the risk of digoxin toxicity even when digoxin levels remain within the conventional therapeutic range.

Moderate Furosemide + Empagliflozin

Both empagliflozin and furosemide promote natriuresis and diuresis; concurrent use can produce additive volume depletion, hypotension, and electrolyte disturbances.
