Interação entre Benazepril + hidroclorotiazida e Perindopril

Perindopril erbumine tablets are contraindicated in patients known to be hypersensitive (including angioedema) to this product or to any other ACE inhibitor.

Symptomatic hypotension is most likely to occur in patients who have been volume or salt-depleted as a result of prolonged diuretic therapy, dietary salt restriction, dialysis, diarrhea or vomiting [see Dosage and Administration (2.1) ] .

Patients should be followed closely for the first two weeks of treatment and whenever the dose of perindopril erbumine and/or diuretic is increased.

Some perindopril erbumine-treated patients have developed minor and transient increases in blood urea nitrogen and serum creatinine especially in those concomitantly treated with a diuretic.

Risk factors for the development of hyperkalemia include renal insufficiency, diabetes mellitus and the concomitant use of agents such as potassium-sparing diuretics, potassium supplements and/or potassium-containing salt substitutes [see Drug Interactions (7.2) ] .

Lotensin HCT is also contraindicated in patients who are hypersensitive to benazepril, to any other ACE inhibitor, to hydrochlorothiazide, or to other sulfonamide-derived drugs.

Like other ACE inhibitors, benazepril has been only rarely associated with hypotension in uncomplicated hypertensive patients.

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.
