ModerateAllopurinol + Furosemide

Can you take Allopurinol and Furosemide together?

This page explains what happens if Allopurinol and Furosemide are taken together, according to official sources.

What happens

Diuretic-induced hyperuricemia opposing allopurinol

Furosemide promotes renal uric acid reabsorption, which can elevate serum urate and counteract the therapeutic goals of allopurinol.

Recommended management

Monitor serum uric acid levels. An upward titration of allopurinol may be required to maintain target urate levels (<6 mg/dL).
