Interação entre Amilorida e Metoprolol + hidroclorotiazida

Hyperkalemia occurs commonly (about 10%) when amiloride is used without a kaliuretic diuretic.

When amiloride HCl is used concomitantly with a thiazide diuretic in patients without these complications, the risk of hyperkalemia is reduced to about 1-2 percent.

It is thus essential to monitor serum potassium levels carefully in any patient receiving amiloride, particularly when it is first introduced, at the time of diuretic dosage adjustments, and during any illness that could affect renal function.

Diabetes Mellitus In diabetic patients, hyperkalemia has been reported with the use of all potassium-conserving diuretics, including amiloride HCl, even in patients without evidence of diabetic nephropathy.

(See WARNINGS .) Lithium generally should not be given with diuretics because they reduce its renal clearance and add a high risk of lithium toxicity.

If such symptoms occur, increase diuretics and restore clinical stability before advancing the dose of metoprolol.

Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs): Reduced diuretic, natriuretic, and antihypertensive effects of diuretics.

Lithium : Diuretics reduce the renal clearance of lithium and increase the risk of lithium toxicity.

Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs : NSAIDs can reduce the diuretic, natriuretic, and antihypertensive effects of thiazide diuretics.

Because of its relative beta 1 cardio-selectivity, however, metoprolol tartrate may be used in patients with bronchospastic disease who do not respond to, or cannot tolerate, other antihypertensive treatment.
