Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
my cardiologist has put me on furosemide for about a month now 20 mg 1x1 and I haven t had a normal bowel movement since. I either have a burst of liquidy or mostly pastey stool and several times a day and its become very disruptive to my life. I will see him in a couple weeks but wondered if this medicine could cause this condition ?
Good day and thank you for posting this question. Yes, furosemide can cause diarrhea like your own case. Kindly see your doctor, he would reduce the dosage of furosemide OR probably give you another medication. I hope it helps. Thank you.
