Resumo
Carbenoxolone causes mineralocorticoid-like sodium and water retention and potassium loss, which can raise blood pressure and oppose the antihypertensive effect. Combined with chlorthalidone, the risk of hypokalemia is considerably increased.
O que esta interação significa em palavras simples
Atenolol-chlorthalidone and Carbenoxolone 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.
Por que acontece
Carbenoxolone inhibits 11-beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase, producing mineralocorticoid excess that adds to thiazide-induced potassium wasting and counteracts antihypertensive therapy.
