DRUG INTERACTIONS

  • Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs): Reduced diuretic, natriuretic, and antihypertensive effects; risk of renal impairment. (7.1)
     

  • CYP2C9: Concomitant use with CYP2C9 inhibitors can decrease torsemide clearance. Torsemide may affect the efficacy and safety of sensitive CYP2C9 substrates or of substrates with a narrow therapeutic range, such as warfarin or phenytoin. (7.2)
     

  • Cholestyramine: Decreased exposure of SOAANZ. (7.3)
     

  • Organic anion drugs: may decrease diuretic activity of SOAANZ. (7.4)
     

  • Lithium: Risk of lithium toxicity. (7.5)
     

  • Renin-angiotensin inhibitors: Increased risk of hypotension and renal impairment. (7.7)
     

  • Radiocontrast agents: Increased risk of renal toxicity. (7.8)
     

  • Corticosteroids and ACTH: Increased risk of hypokalemia. (7.9)

PATIENT COUNSELING INFORMATION

Symptomatic Hypotension: Advise patients receiving SOAANZ that lightheadedness can occur, especially during the first days of therapy, and that it should be reported to the prescribing physician. Patients should be told that if syncope occurs, SOAANZ should be discontinued until the physician has been consulted.

All patients should be cautioned that inadequate fluid intake, excessive perspiration, diarrhea, or vomiting can lead to an excessive fall in blood pressure, with the same consequences of lightheadedness and possible syncope [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1)].

Non-Steroidal Anti-inflammatory Drugs (NSAID): Advise patients to discuss with their physician before taking NSAID medications concomitantly [see Drug Interactions (7.1)].
