What the FDA labels say
From the Bisoprolol and hydrochlorothiazide (bisoprolol fumarate and hydrochlorothiazide) label · effective 2026-08-11
Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs - In some patients, the administration of a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory agent can reduce the diuretic, natriuretic, and antihypertensive effects of loop, potassium sparing, and thiazide diuretics.
Therefore, when bisoprolol fumarate and hydrochlorothiazide tablets and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory agents are used concomitantly, the patient should be observed closely to determine if the desired effect of the diuretic is obtained.
From the Diflunisal label · effective 2026-08-04
In normal volunteers, concomitant administration of diflunisal and hydrochlorothiazide resulted in significantly increased plasma levels of hydrochlorothiazide.
Diflunisal decreased the hyperuricemic effect of hydrochlorothiazide.
Patients at greatest risk of this reaction are those with impaired renal function, heart failure, liver dysfunction, those taking diuretics and ACE inhibitors, patients who are volume depleted, and the elderly.
Diuretics Clinical studies, as well as postmarketing observations, have shown that diflunisal can reduce the natriuretic effect of furosemide and thiazides in some patients.
Patients taking thiazides or loop diuretics may have impaired response to these therapies when taking NSAIDs.
