Avapro and Lasix Am I really taking 2 diuretics:

Posted , 2 users are following.

I am taking Avapro for high blood pressure. I have a history of fluid retention.

My dr prescribed Lasix for me as well.

On a recent trip to hospital for a chest infection, I was told I should get something other than Avapro prescribed, to stop taking Avapro

Is this because Avapro have a diuretic in them and means I am taking two diuretics ?****

    I can't speak to your case, but I started out taking a pill that was two diuretics, so it's not unknown, but of course the dosage may need to be adjusted.
