Summary
Noni juice has a notable potassium content, and losartan reduces renal potassium excretion. Regular intake of large amounts could contribute to hyperkalemia, particularly in patients with kidney impairment.
What this interaction means in plain words
Losartan and Noni juice can affect each other. The combination is often manageable, but it may need a change of dose, a change of timing, or extra checks while both are taken.
Why it happens
Additive potassium load from noni juice together with angiotensin receptor blockade-mediated reduction in aldosterone-driven potassium excretion.
What to do
Advise patients with chronic kidney disease or on other potassium-raising drugs to avoid regular noni juice, and check serum potassium if consumption continues.
