Dear DoctorMy mum has congestive heart failure and has been taking as a diuretic Frusemide 40mg daily.  Just recently the nurse at the heart failure clinic added in Spironolactone 12.5mg daily but the Frusemide dose is the same.  Is it normal that 2 different diuretics are prescribed to be taken concurrently and also will this have any reaction with the Candesartan that she takes as well? How often must her urea & electrolyte levels be checked now?Thankyou for your help.
Hi, If your mother doesn't have kidney failure, it is a good idea to prescribe Spironolactone and Furosemide together. Spironolactone will not let to a big Chat Doctor.  It is Ok to take them together with Candesartan. I would advise you to check electrolytes once monthly, after 3 months, if they are stable, then you can check it once in 3 months. Hope I could help nourishing you good health In case of further questions don't hesitate to ask
