Can I take Furosemide and Strivit d3 together?

Why this happens

Furosemide is a 'water tablet' that changes how your kidneys handle minerals. Vitamin D3 helps your body absorb calcium. When used together, they can sometimes cause calcium to build up in the bloodstream rather than being excreted.

What you should do

You can usually take these together, but your doctor may want to monitor your calcium levels with occasional blood tests. If you start feeling unusually tired, thirsty, or nauseous, let your doctor know.
