Before taking ethacrynic acid,
- tell your doctor and pharmacist if you are allergic to ethacrynic acid, any other medications or any of the ingredients in ethacrynic acid tablets. Ask your doctor or pharmacist for a list of the ingredients.
- tell your doctor and pharmacist what prescription and nonprescription medications, vitamins, nutritional supplements and herbal products you are taking or plan to take. Be sure to mention any of the following: other blood pressure medications, anticoagulants ('blood thinners') such as warfarin (Coumadin), corticosteroids (e.g., prednisone), digoxin (Lanoxin), heart medications, lithium (Eskalith, Lithobid), medications for diabetes, and probenecid (Benemid). Your doctor may need to change the doses of your medications or monitor you more carefully for side effects.
