What the FDA labels say
From the Ethacrynic acid label · effective 2023-08-31
CONTRAINDICATIONS All diuretics, including ethacrynic acid, are contraindicated in anuria.
If increasing electrolyte imbalance, azotemia, and/or oliguria occur during treatment of severe, progressive renal disease, the diuretic should be discontinued.
In a few patients this diuretic has produced severe, watery diarrhea.
Like other diuretics it may precipitate hepatic coma and death.
A number of possibly drug-related deaths have occurred in critically ill patients refractory to other diuretics.
From the Indapamide label · effective 2026-05-13
Hypokalemia occurs commonly with diuretics (see ADVERSE REACTIONS ), and electrolyte monitoring is essential, particularly in patients who would be at increased risk from hypokalemia, such as those with cardiac arrhythmias or who are receiving concomitant cardiac glycosides.
In general, diuretics should not be given concomitantly with lithium because they reduce its renal clearance and add a high risk of lithium toxicity.
Drug Interactions Other Antihypertensives: Indapamide may add to or potentiate the action of other antihypertensive drugs.
In limited controlled trials that compared the effect of indapamide combined with other antihypertensive drugs with the effect of the other drugs administered alone, there was no notable change in the nature or frequency of adverse reactions associated with the combined therapy.
