Hi,
Thanks for writing to health care magic.
There is no recommendation to supplement water soluble vitamins to individuals on furosemide. Only recommendation is to supplement potassium which you are already on. If you think some vitamin deficiency is causing problem they may be supplemented after examination by your doctor.
Continue to ask further queries as required.
Hope this helps.
Take care.
