Hi

I was taking both when I came out of hospital for a good period of time and I took them both together with no problems.

Good luck.

You are most welcome 😊

I was on both, taken together. Unlike the other answers, it did affect my kidneys. One was dropped, the other one reduced. I was drained every three weeks, nothing could be done about the oedema. I went off to my transplant with two tree trunks. I could not wear the stockings for surgery. All good now and another pleasure, I can wear normal shoes.

My husband takes them together but he has to have blood test to check kidney function - so only takes them when his feet swell and that works for him

Hi,

I underwent an attempted transplant, which was aborted I have now been on both for 2 years now. I take them every morning at the same time and have not had any ascites. My kidneys appear to be working well.

Hi thewayforward,

My husband was on them both for a while and took them together, but he developed issues with his breast tissue developing and while our GP didn't know when we saw his liver doctor he took him off the spironolactone because that was causing the breast tissue to develop and put him on a different drug in combination with the furosimide, which he still takes.

Best wishes to you,

Mary
