FDA Warnings

METOLAZONE

WARNINGS Rapid Onset Hyponatremia and/or Hypokalemia Rarely, the rapid onset of severe hyponatremia and/or hypokalemia has been reported following initial doses of thiazide and non-thiazide diuretics
Hypokalemia is a particular hazard in patients who are digitalized or who have or have had a ventricular arrhythmia; dangerous or fatal arrhythmias may be precipitated
Concomitant Therapy Lithium In general, diuretics should not be given concomitantly with lithium because they reduce its renal clearance and add a high risk of lithium toxicity

QUINAPRIL AND HYDROCHLOROTHIAZIDE 10

WARNING: FETAL TOXICITY When pregnancy is detected, discontinue quinapril and hydrochlorothiazide tablets as soon as possible
Drugs that act directly on the renin-angiotensin system can cause injury and death to the developing fetus

Metolazone and furosemide

What is the reasoning behind giving metolazone 30 minutes before furosemide? Is it due to their respective onsets of action?

K of 5.4 - what would you do?

Patient on KCl 20mEq QD. Also on metolazone 5mg and bumex 1mg. Has history of hypokalemia in last 2 weeks but K came back today at 5.4. Envarsus daily is being increased from 6 to 7mg. I said to DC KCL supplement, instruct patient to decrease dietary K and recheck labs Thurs. Patient is outpatient.

Chewing metolazone

Has anyone encountered a patient being told to chew metolazone? Is there a reasoning behind it? I can’t find anything that supports it.
