What the FDA labels say
From the Celecoxib (VYSCOXA) label · effective 2025-07-31
• Diuretics : NSAIDs can reduce natriuretic effect of furosemide and thiazide diuretics.
Patients at greatest risk of this reaction are those with impaired renal function, dehydration, hypovolemia , heart failure, liver dysfunction, those taking diuretics, ACE inhibitors or the ARBs, and the elderly.
• In patients who are elderly, volume-depleted (including those on diuretic therapy), or have renal impairment, co-administration of an NSAID with ACE inhibitors or ARBs may result in deterioration of renal function, including possible acute renal failure.
Diuretics Clinical Impact: Clinical studies, as well as post-marketing observations, showed that NSAIDs reduced the natriuretic effect of loop diuretics (e.g., furosemide) and thiazide diuretics in some patients.
Intervention: During concomitant use of VYSCOXA with diuretics, observe patients for signs of worsening renal function, in addition to assuring diuretic efficacy including antihypertensive effects [ see Warnings and Precautions (5.6) ].
