co-amilofruse

Hoping someone can give some advice.

My partner had a double CABG eight weeks ago. After the surgery he was put on co-amilofruse, to be reviewed at his follow-up with the surgeon. Prior to the surgery he was on furosemide.

We understand that co-amilofruse is a diuretic and will obviously cause him to urinate frequently. However, this is continuing all day and night, which wasn’t the case with furosemide, which tapered off after taking the tablet in the morning.

Has anyone any advice/experience to offer? We will raise it with the surgeon at the follow-up next week, but it would be helpful to know of other people’s experience with it.

Many thanks.
