Summary
Both entecavir and benazepril's active metabolite are cleared by the kidney, and ACE inhibitors may reduce renal function in some patients. Reduced renal function could increase entecavir exposure.
What this interaction means in plain words
Amlodipine-benazepril and Entecavir have a small, usually unimportant interaction. Most people can take both; the pharmacist may still mention it so that any unexpected effect is recognised.
Amlodipine-benazepril belongs to Cardiovascular; Entecavir belongs to Anti Virals.
Why it happens
Possible competition for renal tubular secretion and ACE-inhibitor-related reduction in renal function.
What to do
Monitor renal function and adjust the entecavir dose according to creatinine clearance if function declines.
