Can I take Furosemide and Pantaprozole together?

Por qué sucede esto

Both medicines can cause the body to lose magnesium. Furosemide (a water tablet) makes the kidneys flush out more magnesium in the urine. Pantoprazole (a stomach acid reducer) can interfere with how the gut absorbs magnesium from your food. When used together, these two effects combine.

You can take these medicines together, but your doctor may want to check your blood mineral levels (especially magnesium) with a simple blood test. If you experience unusual muscle twitches, spasms, or a racing heartbeat, contact your doctor. Do not stop taking your prescribed medication without speaking to a healthcare professional first.
