NSAIDS and diuretics

Last reviewed 03/2022

• if possible, NSAIDs should not be administered with diuretics - this is because NSAIDS antagonise the antihypertensive and diuretic affects of the diuretic (1)
• also co-administration of NSAIDs and diuretics also increases the risk of nephrotoxicity (1)
