Does Metformin Interact With Furosemide And Verapamil?

I Take Metformin 500mg tab.2 am, 2 pm, Furosemide 40mg. Tab.1 X a day, Verapamil 180 mg tab, 1 X a day, Atorvastatin Calcium 40mg tab 1X a day, Losartin Potassium 100mg tab 1 X a day, Novolog 70/30 Insulin 70 units am and 40 units pm & 1 Bayer Aspirin a day. Are any of these meds interacting with another drug on this list. I just feel sluggish and out of sorts all the time now?

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic


There are some interactions between the medications though these interactions may not cause fatigue and sluggish sensations.

Verapamil interacts to increase the levels of atorvastain.

Losartan and aspirin interact to increase the toxicity of each other and they also both increase potassium.

Blood pressure medication can cause fatigue including furosemide and verapamil so these may be contributing to your symptoms.

You may need to speak to your doctor about the medications

I hope this helps
