Summary
Opioids can stimulate antidiuretic hormone release, which may blunt the diuretic effect of chlorthalidone and promote fluid retention. Opioids may also cause hypotension, adding to the blood pressure lowering of the combination product.
What this interaction means in plain words
Azilsartan-chlorthalidone and Buprenorphine long-acting have a small, usually unimportant interaction. Most people can take both; the pharmacist may still mention it so that any unexpected effect is recognised.
Why it happens
Opioid-induced antidiuretic hormone release opposes diuresis, and additive hypotensive effects may occur.
