Furosemide & Nutrient Depletion
Also searched as Lasix. What the clinical evidence reports, what it may mean, and what to discuss with your pharmacist.
Furosemide has been associated with depletion of POTASSIUM, VITAMIN B6, VITAMIN C and CALCIUM and 5 more. This does not mean a deficiency will occur — it means these are worth knowing about and, if you take Furosemide long-term, worth raising with your pharmacist or healthcare provider.

POTASSIUM
Major DepletionDIURETIC DRUGS
Potassium keeps your heart rhythm steady and your muscles working properly, so keeping levels in a healthy range really matters. Furosemide works in the kidneys to pull excess fluid out of the body, but as it does that, it also sends a significant amount of potassium out through the urine along with the fluid. This is a well-documented, major concern, not a minor or theoretical one, and most people taking furosemide long-term will need their potassium levels checked regularly and may need a supplement or potassium-rich foods. Please talk with your pharmacist or doctor about whether monitoring or supplementation makes sense for you.
What Potassium does & food sources
Potassium keeps nerve signals, muscle contractions, and heart rhythm working normally.
Common food sources:
- Bananas and citrus fruits
- Potatoes and sweet potatoes
- Beans and lentils
- Tomatoes and leafy greens
HelloPharmacist pharmacist-reviewed education — separate from the licensed record above.
What to discuss with your clinician
Potassium is routinely checked with basic blood work. If you take a medication associated with potassium loss (like some diuretics), ask your provider how often your electrolytes should be monitored.
HelloPharmacist pharmacist-reviewed education — separate from the licensed record above.
Supplement considerations
Do not start potassium supplements on your own. Both low and high potassium can affect heart rhythm, and several common medications (ACE inhibitors, ARBs, potassium-sparing diuretics) raise potassium.
Do not start or stop medications or supplements without professional guidance — supplements can interact with prescription medications.
HelloPharmacist pharmacist-reviewed education — separate from the licensed record above.
Caution: Potassium supplementation can be dangerous in kidney disease or alongside potassium-raising medications — this is a decision for your prescriber, guided by lab results.

VITAMIN B6
Insignificant DepletionFUROSEMIDE (Lasix)
Limited data suggests that acute use of intravenous furosemide in people with kidney failure increases urinary excretion of vitamin B6. However, people with hypertension treated with oral diuretics for several years seem to have normal serum vitamin B6 levels. Vitamin B6 supplements are not usually necessary with furosemide or other diuretics. For information on foods that are rich in vitamin B6, see our chart.
Vitamin B6 helps your body make energy and keeps your nerves and immune system working properly. Furosemide, particularly when given by IV to people who already have kidney problems, may cause the kidneys to flush out a bit more B6 in the urine than usual. That said, this is rated as an insignificant depletion, and people who take furosemide by mouth long-term for conditions like high blood pressure appear to maintain normal B6 levels. Most patients on this medication do not need to worry about this, but if you have questions about your diet or whether a supplement makes sense for you, your pharmacist or doctor is a great person to ask.
What Vitamin B6 does & food sources
Vitamin B6 is involved in protein metabolism, neurotransmitter production, and red blood cell formation.
Common food sources:
- Poultry and fish
- Potatoes and starchy vegetables
- Bananas
- Fortified cereals
HelloPharmacist pharmacist-reviewed education — separate from the licensed record above.
What to discuss with your clinician
With some medications (for example, isoniazid), B6 is intentionally co-prescribed — follow your prescriber's plan. Otherwise, ask whether testing or supplementation is appropriate if you have symptoms like numbness or tingling.
HelloPharmacist pharmacist-reviewed education — separate from the licensed record above.
Supplement considerations
Paradoxically, long-term high-dose B6 can itself cause nerve symptoms — this is a nutrient where more is definitely not better.
Do not start or stop medications or supplements without professional guidance — supplements can interact with prescription medications.

Caution: Avoid high-dose B6 without medical guidance; sustained high intakes can cause neuropathy.

VITAMIN C
Insignificant DepletionDIURETIC DRUGS
In people with chronic renal failure, a 20 mg intravenous dose of furosemide (Lasix) increases urinary losses of vitamin C, probably due to increased water excretion. Significant vitamin C depletion hasn't been reported with long-term oral use of furosemide or other diuretics.
Vitamin C is something your body uses to support your immune system, heal tissue, and protect cells from damage. Furosemide is a strong water pill, and when it pulls extra fluid out through your kidneys, it can carry a little vitamin C along with it in the urine. That said, this has mainly been seen with IV doses given in a clinical setting, and significant depletion has not been reported with everyday oral furosemide use. For most people taking this medication, this is not something to worry about, though your pharmacist or doctor can always weigh in if you have specific concerns.
What Vitamin C does & food sources
Vitamin C is an antioxidant that supports the immune system, collagen formation, and iron absorption.
Common food sources:
- Citrus fruits
- Bell peppers
- Strawberries and kiwi
- Broccoli and Brussels sprouts
HelloPharmacist pharmacist-reviewed education — separate from the licensed record above.
What to discuss with your clinician
Frank vitamin C deficiency is uncommon with a varied diet. If your diet is limited and you take an associated medication, ask your provider whether your intake is adequate.
HelloPharmacist pharmacist-reviewed education — separate from the licensed record above.
Supplement considerations
Vitamin C is water-soluble and generally low-risk at food-level intakes; very high supplemental doses can cause stomach upset and may not add benefit.
Do not start or stop medications or supplements without professional guidance — supplements can interact with prescription medications.

CALCIUM
Moderate DepletionLOOP DIURETICS
Loop diuretics increase urinary calcium excretion and may reduce serum calcium levels, especially at higher doses. For information on foods that are rich in calcium, see our chart.
Furosemide is a powerful water pill that works by telling your kidneys to flush out excess fluid, but calcium gets swept out in the process too. Because this happens through the kidneys rather than the gut, higher doses or long-term use can meaningfully reduce the calcium your body holds onto, and calcium is what keeps your bones strong and your muscles and heart working properly. This is rated a moderate concern, meaning some long-term users do end up needing a supplement while others do not. It is worth bringing up with your pharmacist or doctor, especially if you have been on furosemide for a while.
What Calcium does & food sources
Calcium builds and maintains bone and is essential for muscle contraction and nerve signaling.
Common food sources:
- Dairy products (milk, yogurt, cheese)
- Fortified plant milks and juices
- Canned fish with bones (sardines, salmon)
- Leafy greens like kale
HelloPharmacist pharmacist-reviewed education — separate from the licensed record above.
What to discuss with your clinician
Ask your provider whether bone health monitoring (and vitamin D testing) makes sense with long-term use of an associated medication — a blood calcium level alone does not capture bone calcium status.
HelloPharmacist pharmacist-reviewed education — separate from the licensed record above.
Supplement considerations
Calcium can interfere with the absorption of several medications (some antibiotics, thyroid medication, iron) — separate the doses and confirm timing with your pharmacist. Total intake from food plus supplements matters more than supplements alone.
Do not start or stop medications or supplements without professional guidance — supplements can interact with prescription medications.
HelloPharmacist pharmacist-reviewed education — separate from the licensed record above.
Caution: Very high calcium intake has its own risks (kidney stones in susceptible people) — more is not better.

MAGNESIUM
Moderate DepletionDIURETIC DRUGS
Loop diuretics and, to a lesser extent thiazide diuretics, interfere with magnesium reabsorption in the kidneys, increasing urinary losses and reducing serum magnesium levels. Potassium-sparing diuretics, such as amiloride, triamterene, or spironolactone, are also magnesium-sparing, and can therefore counteract the magnesium losses seen with loop diuretics and thiazides. For information on foods that are rich in magnesium, see our chart.
Furosemide is a loop diuretic, meaning it works by making your kidneys remove extra fluid through urine, and magnesium, a mineral your muscles and heart rhythm depend on, can get flushed out along with that fluid. The kidneys have a natural process to pull magnesium back into the body before it leaves in the urine, and furosemide interferes with that process, so more magnesium gets lost than usual. This is rated as a moderate concern, which means it is real enough that some long-term users do end up needing a supplement. If you take furosemide regularly, it is worth asking your pharmacist or doctor whether your magnesium level has been checked.
What Magnesium does & food sources
Magnesium is involved in muscle and nerve function, heart rhythm, blood sugar control, and bone health.
Common food sources:
- Nuts and seeds (almonds, pumpkin seeds)
- Whole grains
- Leafy green vegetables
- Beans and legumes
HelloPharmacist pharmacist-reviewed education — separate from the licensed record above.
What to discuss with your clinician
Ask whether a magnesium level is worth checking if you take an associated medication long-term — particularly with symptoms like muscle cramps, twitching, or palpitations. Blood levels do not always reflect total body stores, which is worth discussing too.
HelloPharmacist pharmacist-reviewed education — separate from the licensed record above.
Supplement considerations
Magnesium supplements come in many forms and can cause loose stools at higher doses. They can also bind some medications in the gut (certain antibiotics, thyroid medication), so timing matters — check with your pharmacist.
Do not start or stop medications or supplements without professional guidance — supplements can interact with prescription medications.
HelloPharmacist pharmacist-reviewed education — separate from the licensed record above.
Caution: Magnesium supplementation can be risky in kidney disease, where magnesium can accumulate — always check with a clinician first if your kidney function is reduced.

THIAMINE
Moderate DepletionDIURETIC DRUGS
Increased urinary thiamine excretion and thiamine deficiency may occur in some people treated with diuretics, especially in high doses (e.g., more than 80 mg furosemide daily) for several months. Although most case reports involve furosemide, animal data suggest that the effect may occur with any diuretic. Diuretic-induced thiamine deficiency appears to be most common in elderly people with inadequate dietary intake and to be rare in people less than 60 years of age. Thiamine deficiency in people taking diuretics is a concern because it might worsen heart failure. Limited research suggests that supplementation with thiamine 200 mg daily may improve left ventricular ejection fraction and functional capacity in some thiamine-deficient people treated with high doses of furosemide for heart failure. However, other studies have found no improvement. It's too soon to recommend routine thiamine supplementation for people on prolonged, high-dose diuretic therapy. Monitor for thiamine deficiency.
Thiamine is a B vitamin your heart muscle and nervous system depend on to produce energy. Furosemide works in the kidneys to pull extra fluid out of the body, and one side effect is that it can sweep thiamine out through the urine along with that fluid. This is most relevant for people who have been on higher doses (think more than 80 mg a day) for several months, especially older adults or anyone whose diet is not very varied. If that sounds like your situation, it is worth bringing up with your pharmacist or doctor, since low thiamine is a real concern for people being treated for heart failure.
What Vitamin B1 (thiamine) does & food sources
Thiamine helps convert food into energy and is essential for nerve and heart function.
Common food sources:
- Whole grains and fortified cereals
- Pork
- Beans and lentils
- Nuts and seeds
HelloPharmacist pharmacist-reviewed education — separate from the licensed record above.
What to discuss with your clinician
Ask about thiamine if you take an associated medication (for example, a long-term loop diuretic in heart failure) and have symptoms like fatigue or worsening heart failure control — this is an area your care team can weigh.
HelloPharmacist pharmacist-reviewed education — separate from the licensed record above.
Supplement considerations
Thiamine is water-soluble and generally low-risk, but supplementing to treat a suspected problem should still be clinician-guided so the real cause is not missed.
Do not start or stop medications or supplements without professional guidance — supplements can interact with prescription medications.

COENZYME Q10
Insufficient EvidenceANTIHYPERTENSIVE DRUGS
Some antihypertensive drugs, including beta blockers, diazoxide, hydralazine, and others, appear to inhibit coenzyme Q10 enzyme activity and may decrease endogenous levels of coenzyme Q10. However, it is not clear if this reduction is clinically significant. There is no reliable evidence that coenzyme Q10 depletion contributes to antihypertensive drug side effects.
Coenzyme Q10 is a natural compound your body makes that helps cells produce energy and acts as an antioxidant. Some antihypertensive medications have been reported to interfere with the enzymes that keep CoQ10 levels normal, though it is not fully clear whether furosemide specifically drives this effect or how much it matters in practice. With only insufficient evidence here, there is no reason to be alarmed, and most people taking furosemide do not need to act on this. If you are curious about your levels or whether a supplement makes sense for you, it is worth a quick conversation with your pharmacist or doctor.
What Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) does & food sources
CoQ10 helps cells produce energy and acts as an antioxidant; heart and muscle tissue use it heavily.
Common food sources:
- Organ meats and fatty fish
- Whole grains
- Nuts and seeds
HelloPharmacist pharmacist-reviewed education — separate from the licensed record above.
What to discuss with your clinician
There is no routine blood test for CoQ10 in everyday practice. If you have new, unexplained muscle symptoms on a medication linked to CoQ10 (statins are the best-known example), talk to your prescriber before changing anything — symptoms have many possible causes and your prescriber has several options.
HelloPharmacist pharmacist-reviewed education — separate from the licensed record above.
Supplement considerations
CoQ10 is generally well tolerated, but evidence for supplementing (for example, for statin muscle symptoms) is mixed. It may also modestly affect warfarin — check with your pharmacist before combining.
Do not start or stop medications or supplements without professional guidance — supplements can interact with prescription medications.

FOLIC ACID
Insufficient EvidenceDIURETIC DRUGS
Limited data suggests diuretics may increase excretion of folic acid. Reduced red blood cell folate levels, possibly contributing to increased homocysteine levels, were found in one group of people taking diuretics for six months or longer. The need for folic acid supplementation during diuretic therapy hasn't been adequately studied. Advise patients to maintain a good dietary intake of folic acid. For information on foods that are rich in folate, see our chart.
Folic acid is a B vitamin your body uses to build healthy red blood cells and keep homocysteine levels in check. Because furosemide works by pushing your kidneys to flush out more fluid, there is some concern it may carry extra folate out in the urine as well, though the research on this is quite limited. Honestly, the evidence is too thin right now to know whether this is a real concern for most people taking furosemide. Eating folate-rich foods is a reasonable everyday step, and if you have questions about whether you need anything beyond that, your pharmacist or doctor is the right person to ask.
What Folic acid (folate) does & food sources
Folate is needed for cell division, red blood cell formation, and healthy fetal development.
Common food sources:
- Leafy green vegetables
- Beans, lentils, and peas
- Fortified grains and cereals
- Citrus fruits
HelloPharmacist pharmacist-reviewed education — separate from the licensed record above.
What to discuss with your clinician
Ask your provider whether folate monitoring or supplementation is appropriate for you — this matters most before and during pregnancy, and with long-term use of certain seizure or arthritis medications.
HelloPharmacist pharmacist-reviewed education — separate from the licensed record above.
Supplement considerations
Folate needs are individual. With some medications (for example, methotrexate), folic acid is often prescribed deliberately on a specific schedule — follow your prescriber's instructions rather than adding your own.
Do not start or stop medications or supplements without professional guidance — supplements can interact with prescription medications.
HelloPharmacist pharmacist-reviewed education — separate from the licensed record above.
Caution: High-dose folic acid can mask vitamin B12 deficiency, so the two are often evaluated together.

SODIUM
Insufficient EvidenceDIURETIC DRUGS
Loop and thiazide diuretics increase sodium excretion by preventing sodium from being reabsorbed by the kidneys. Although uncommon, loop or thiazide diuretics can cause severe hyponatremia in some patients.
Sodium is the mineral your body uses to control fluid balance, blood pressure, and nerve signaling, so keeping levels in a healthy range really matters. Furosemide is a loop diuretic, meaning it works in the kidneys to push out extra fluid by blocking sodium from being reabsorbed back into the bloodstream. In some people, especially at higher doses or over a long time, this can lead to sodium levels dropping too low, a condition called hyponatremia. That said, the evidence here is rated insufficient, so the clinical picture is still unclear. If you take furosemide regularly, it is worth asking your doctor or pharmacist whether your sodium levels should be checked periodically.
What Sodium does & food sources
Sodium maintains fluid balance, blood pressure, and nerve/muscle function.
Common food sources:
- Table salt and most processed foods — dietary shortage is rare; medication-related loss is about balance, not intake
HelloPharmacist pharmacist-reviewed education — separate from the licensed record above.
What to discuss with your clinician
Sodium is part of routine blood work. If you take an associated medication (like certain diuretics or antidepressants), ask how often your electrolytes should be checked — especially if you feel confused, weak, or unusually tired.
HelloPharmacist pharmacist-reviewed education — separate from the licensed record above.
Supplement considerations
Low sodium from a medication is managed by your care team (often by adjusting the medication or fluids) — not by eating more salt on your own.
Do not start or stop medications or supplements without professional guidance — supplements can interact with prescription medications.
HelloPharmacist pharmacist-reviewed education — separate from the licensed record above.
Caution: Significant symptoms of low sodium (confusion, severe weakness) warrant prompt medical attention.

More about Furosemide
What drug-induced nutrient depletion means
Some medications can, over time, lower the levels of certain vitamins, minerals, or other nutrients — through reduced absorption, increased loss, or changes in how the body uses them.
Association is not deficiency
An entry here means a depletion has been reported or studied — not that it happens to everyone, or that you are deficient. Dose, duration, diet, and your own health all matter.
Evidence varies by pair
Some drug–nutrient links (like metformin and vitamin B12) are well studied; others rest on limited or preliminary research. Each entry shows the evidence rating from our licensed clinical database.
When to ask about labs
If you take an associated medication long-term, ask your healthcare provider whether monitoring is appropriate for you. Not everyone needs testing — your provider can weigh your dose, duration, and symptoms.
Don't self-supplement blindly
Supplements are not risk-free: some can interact with medications, and some (like potassium or magnesium) can be risky with kidney disease. Talk to your pharmacist before adding anything.
Never stop a medication over this
These medications are prescribed for good reasons, and the benefit usually far outweighs a manageable nutrient consideration. Any change belongs in a conversation with your prescriber.
Food first, usually
For many nutrients, a varied diet covers the gap. Each entry lists common food sources; a supplement is a decision to make with your pharmacist or provider, not a default.
