Interacción de Lisinopril e hidroclorotiazida con Triamtereno e hidroclorotiazida

Other Considerations Concurrent use of hydrochlorothiazide with amphotericin B or corticosteroids or corticotropin (ACTH) may intensify electrolyte imbalance, particularly hypokalemia, although the presence of triamterene minimizes the hypokalemic effect.

Drug Interactions Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme Inhibitors Potassium-sparing agents should be used with caution in conjunction with angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors due to an increased risk of hyperkalemia.

Thiazides may add to or potentiate the action of other antihypertensive drugs.

See INDICATIONS AND USAGE for concomitant use with other antihypertensive drugs.

Hypotension and Related Effects: Excessive hypotension was rarely seen in uncomplicated hypertensive patients but is a possible consequence of lisinopril use in salt/volume-depleted persons such as those treated vigorously with diuretics or patients on dialysis (see PRECAUTIONS, Drug Interactions and ADVERSE REACTIONS ).

Such patients should be followed closely for the first two weeks of treatment and whenever the dose of lisinopril and/or diuretic is increased.

Drug Interactions Lisinopril Hypotension - Patients on Diuretic Therapy: Patients on diuretics and especially those in whom diuretic therapy was recently instituted, may occasionally experience an excessive reduction of blood pressure after initiation of therapy with lisinopril.

If it is necessary to continue the diuretic, initiate therapy with lisinopril at a dose of 5 mg daily, and provide close medical supervision after the initial dose for at least two hours and until blood pressure has stabilized for at least an additional hour (see WARNINGS , and DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION ).

When a diuretic is added to the therapy of a patient receiving lisinopril, an additional antihypertensive effect is usually observed (see DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION ).
