Il contenuto clinico di questa pagina è disponibile solo in inglese.
Sintesi
Losartan and amiloride both raise serum potassium, and the potassium-lowering effect of hydrochlorothiazide only partly offsets this. Hyperkalemia can occur, especially in patients with renal impairment, diabetes or older age.
Cosa significa questa interazione in parole semplici
Amiloride and Hydrochlorothiazide-losartan 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.
Amiloride belongs to Cardiovascular; Hydrochlorothiazide-losartan belongs to Cardiovascular.
Perché avviene
Angiotensin receptor blockade reduces aldosterone-mediated potassium excretion while amiloride blocks the epithelial sodium channel, additively causing potassium retention.
Cosa fare
Check serum potassium and creatinine within the first week or so and periodically thereafter. Avoid potassium supplements and salt substitutes, and stop amiloride if potassium becomes elevated.
