Il contenuto clinico di questa pagina è disponibile solo in inglese.

Sintesi

Indomethacin can blunt renal potassium excretion while amiloride is potassium-sparing, so combined use can cause hyperkalemia. NSAIDs may also reduce the diuretic and antihypertensive effect of amiloride and worsen renal function.

Cosa significa questa interazione in parole semplici

Amiloride and Indomethacin 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; Indomethacin belongs to Musculoskeletal.

Livello di evidenza: Moderate

Perché avviene

Additive potassium retention: amiloride blocks ENaC and indomethacin suppresses prostaglandin-mediated renin and aldosterone and renal potassium excretion.

Cosa fare

Avoid the combination where possible; if used, monitor serum potassium and creatinine within the first week and periodically after, especially in the elderly, diabetics or those with renal impairment.
