Summary
NSAIDs such as lornoxicam can weaken the antihypertensive effect of olmesartan and, together with an ARB, increase the risk of renal impairment and hyperkalemia. Risk is highest in elderly, volume-depleted or renally impaired patients.
What this interaction means in plain words
Amlodipine-olmesartan and Lornoxicam can affect each other. The combination is often manageable, but it may need a change of dose, a change of timing, or extra checks while both are taken.
Amlodipine-olmesartan belongs to Cardiovascular; Lornoxicam belongs to Musculoskeletal.
Why it happens
NSAID inhibition of renal prostaglandin synthesis reduces renal perfusion and sodium excretion, antagonizing ARB effects and impairing glomerular filtration.
What to do
Maintain hydration and monitor blood pressure, serum creatinine and potassium; use the lowest effective NSAID dose for the shortest time.
