Question almost 5 years ago

Can Vitator be used with lasix?

Dr. Uday Nath Sahoo MBBS , Internal Medicine

Yes, Vitator can be used with lasix (furosemide). Both are loop diuretics, however, furosemide has a shorter half-life than Vitator. The long-acting Vitator, when added to lasix, can produce better clinical outcomes. It is also advisable to pair Vitator with a potassium-sparing diuretic like spironolactone because while Vitator may lead to potassium loss, spironolactone will retain potassium in the body.
