Wechselwirkung zwischen Benazepril und Hydrochlorothiazid und Pindolol

Although beta-blockers should be avoided in overt congestive heart failure, if necessary, pindolol tablets can be used with caution in patients with a history of failure who are well-compensated, usually with digitalis and diuretics.

Pindolol tablets have been used with a variety of antihypertensive agents, including hydrochlorothiazide, hydralazine, and guanethidine without unexpected adverse interactions.

At the first sign or symptom of impending cardiac failure, patients should be fully digitalized and/or be given a diuretic, and the response observed closely.

If cardiac failure continues, despite adequate digitalization and diuretic, pindolol tablets therapy should be withdrawn (gradually, if possible).

The thiazide component of Lotensin HCT may potentiate the action of other antihypertensive drugs, especially ganglionic or peripheral adrenergic-blocking drugs.

Other ACE inhibitors have had less than additive effects with beta-adrenergic blockers, presumably because drugs of both classes lower blood pressure by inhibiting parts of the renin-angiotensin system.

Lotensin HCT should be used cautiously in patients receiving concomitant therapy with other antihypertensives.

Most epidemiologic studies examining fetal abnormalities after exposure to antihypertensive use in the first trimester have not distinguished drugs affecting the renin-angiotensin system from other antihypertensive agents.

Benazepril Benazepril has been used concomitantly with beta-adrenergic-blocking agents, calcium-blocking agents, cimetidine, diuretics, digoxin, hydralazine, and naproxen without evidence of clinically important adverse interactions.
