Q: Name at least 3 commonly used drugs in ICU - which should not be infuse via same infusion/port line as furosemide infusion?

Answer:

• labetalol
• ciprofloxacin 
• milrinone 

Furosemide drip is usually prepared in the weakly alkaline to neutral range. Above drugs are usually prepared in acid solutions. They must not be administered concurrently in the same infusion because they may cause precipitation of the furosemide. Also, furosemide injection should not be added to a running intravenous line containing any of these acidic products.
