Summary

Opioids such as oliceridine may blunt the diuretic effect of hydrochlorothiazide, and they can also cause hypotension, particularly with volume depletion. The net effect on blood pressure and fluid balance can be unpredictable.

What this interaction means in plain words

Captopril-hydrochlorothiazide and Oliceridine have a small, usually unimportant interaction. Most people can take both; the pharmacist may still mention it so that any unexpected effect is recognised.

Captopril-hydrochlorothiazide belongs to Cardiovascular; Oliceridine belongs to Musculoskeletal.

Evidence level: Low

Why it happens

Opioid-induced antidiuretic hormone release may reduce diuresis, while additive vasodilation and sedation can lower blood pressure.

What to do

Monitor blood pressure, fluid status and urine output when oliceridine is given with this combination. Adjust the diuretic dose if diuresis is diminished.
