Summary
Terbutaline tends to lower serum potassium while olmesartan tends to raise it, so the effects partly offset. Beta-agonists may also cause tachycardia and blunt blood pressure control, but the interaction is of limited clinical significance.
What this interaction means in plain words
Amlodipine-olmesartan and Terbutaline 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-olmesartan belongs to Cardiovascular; Terbutaline belongs to Respiratory.
Why it happens
Opposing effects on potassium: beta-2 stimulation drives potassium into cells while ARBs reduce renal potassium excretion.
