Sulfa Allergy and Diuretics
Is it safe to take diuretics (aka water pills) if you have a sulfa allergy?
Check out my video below to find out!
Just a little disclaimer to go with the clip: this is not my best video to date. Don’t know what happened!
So, those potassium-sparing diuretics I mentioned that do not contain sulfa are amiloride, triamterene, and spironolactone.
The additional diuretic that does not contain sulfa, but is not a potassium-sparing diuretic is ethacrynic acid.
Just wanted to provide those medication names in case you absolutely cannot take a sulfa-containing diuretic!
Whoa, that was a little rough, but at least you’ve got some info to start with, and if you need some clarification on the matter, definitely get in touch with me at Cate@getpharmacyadvice.com.
Thanks for checking in!
