Résumé

Both valsartan and hydrochlorothiazide can reduce renal lithium clearance, raising serum lithium and risking toxicity such as tremor, ataxia, confusion and arrhythmias. The thiazide effect is particularly well documented and the risk is greater with volume depletion.

Ce que signifie cette interaction, en termes simples

Amlodipine-hydrochlorothiazide-valsartan and Lithium can interact in a way that may be serious. Using them together is sometimes necessary, but it needs a deliberate decision by the prescriber, a plan for monitoring, and clear advice on the warning signs to watch for.

Amlodipine-hydrochlorothiazide-valsartan belongs to Cardiovascular; Lithium belongs to Central Nervous System.

Niveau de preuve: High

Pourquoi elle survient

Reduced renal lithium excretion due to increased proximal tubular sodium and lithium reabsorption from thiazide-induced volume contraction and angiotensin receptor blockade.

Conduite à tenir
