Can I take Furosemide and Joint assurance together?

Perché succede

Glucosamine and chondroitin (found in Joint Assurance) can enhance the effects of blood-thinning medications. While they do not directly change how furosemide works in the body, the combination can occasionally lead to changes in blood sugar or blood pressure stability in sensitive individuals.

You may be experiencing an interaction between furosemide and joint assurance if:

• You feel dizzy or lightheaded, particularly when standing up.

• You notice increased tiredness or weakness.

• You develop muscle cramps or muscle weakness, which may be linked to electrolyte changes.

• You experience changes in swelling in your legs or joints.

• You notice digestive symptoms, such as nausea or stomach upset.

• Blood tests show changes in kidney function or electrolyte levels.

• Symptoms start after starting the supplement or changing the dose while taking furosemide.
  

It is generally safe to take these together, but you should monitor your blood pressure regularly. If you notice any unusual bruising, bleeding, or a significant change in your blood sugar levels, speak to your GP or pharmacist.

Se hai uno dei sintomi sopra elencati, dovresti:

• Contact your GP or pharmacist for advice as soon as possible.

• Do not stop taking furosemide suddenly unless advised by a healthcare professional.

• Avoid starting, stopping, or changing Joint Assurance or other supplements without medical advice.

• Seek urgent medical help if you experience severe dizziness, confusion, or muscle weakness.

• Attend any blood tests arranged to check kidney function or electrolyte levels.
