More information on Spironolactone & Furosemide

A ratio of 50-100mg Spironolactone to 20-40mg Furosemide often works to balance the electrolytes, but must be individualized.

The ratio of diuretics can be adjusted to control hyperkalemia (i.e., if hyperkalemia is present, reduce Spironolactone).

If the electrolytes and creatinine are ok, doses can be increased in increments of 50mg Spironolactone to 20mg Furosemide.

For example, starting doses of Spironolactone 50mg and Furosemide 20mg can go to 100mg and 40mg respectively after 4-7 days.
