Summary
Epinephrine can lower serum potassium transiently through beta-2 stimulation, and chlorthalidone depletes potassium. Combined, hypokalemia may be greater, though with inhaled racemic epinephrine the effect is typically small.
What this interaction means in plain words
Azilsartan-chlorthalidone and Epinephrine racemic 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
Beta-2 mediated cellular potassium uptake adds to diuretic-induced renal potassium loss.
What to do
No routine action is needed with occasional use. Check serum potassium in patients with existing hypokalemia or heavy use.
