Will Taking Furosemide Cause Difficulty To Urinate?

I have added AmlodipineBesylate 5mg and Furosemide 20mg to my meds daily of Amaryl 4mg, levothyroxine ,o75mg and Atenolol 50mg. In 1 week, I have had decreased amount of urine output, Today, very,very little amount of output. What should I do? Should I stop Furosemide until I can contact my doctor? I'm on vacation from Indiana to Florida.

Hi,

I have gone through your query.
From the ongoing medicines it seems that you have diabetes, Hypothyroidism and hypertension. After adding Amlodipine and Furosemide, you have low urine output. If you had your blood pressure in normal range before adding them or you have added them by yourself, you can discontinue both and contact your doctor.
Furosemide is Diuretic and increase urine output. It is given with Amlodipine to prevent peripheral edema caused by Amlodipine.


Do consider a positive feedback as a credit to my work. Let me know if you have any further questions.
