Summary
ACE inhibitors may enhance the glucose-lowering effect of antidiabetic drugs. Exenatide alone carries a low hypoglycemia risk, but the risk rises when it is combined with a sulfonylurea or insulin.
What this interaction means in plain words
Exenatide injectable and Ramipril 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
Possible additive glucose lowering from improved insulin sensitivity with ACE inhibition; the mechanism is not firmly established.
What to do
Monitor blood glucose after ramipril is started, and reduce a concurrent sulfonylurea or insulin dose if hypoglycemia occurs.
