Why this happens
Glucosamine and chondroitin (found in Joint Assurance) can enhance the effects of blood-thinning medications. While they do not directly change how furosemide works in the body, the combination can occasionally lead to changes in blood sugar or blood pressure stability in sensitive individuals.
What you should do
