Summary
Angiotensin receptor blockers may modestly improve insulin sensitivity and thereby enhance the effect of glucose-lowering drugs. Combined with exenatide, this could slightly raise the risk of low blood glucose, mainly when other hypoglycemic agents are also used.
What this interaction means in plain words
Eprosartan and Exenatide have a small, usually unimportant interaction. Most people can take both; the pharmacist may still mention it so that any unexpected effect is recognised.
Eprosartan belongs to Cardiovascular; Exenatide belongs to Endocrine.
Why it happens
Angiotensin II receptor blockade may improve insulin sensitivity, producing an additive glucose-lowering effect.
What to do
Monitor glycemic control when the ARB is started or stopped. Adjust sulfonylurea or insulin doses if hypoglycemia develops.
What to ask your pharmacist
- Is there anything I should notice while taking both?
- Do I need to tell my doctor at the next visit?
