Lotensin Hct

See Contraindications. Increased risk of angioedema with concomitant mTOR inhibitors (eg, temsirolimus, sirolimus, everolimus) or neprilysin inhibitors. Potassium or potassium-sparing diuretics may cause hyperkalemia. May increase lithium levels. Dual inhibition of the renin-angiotensin system with ARBs, ACEIs, or aliskiren may increase risk of hypotension, hyperkalemia, renal function changes; monitor closely. Avoid concomitant aliskiren in renal impairment (CrCl <60mL/min). May be antagonized by, and renal toxicity potentiated by, NSAIDs, including selective COX-2 inhibitors (monitor renal function periodically in elderly and/or volume depleted). Potentiated by antihypertensives, anticholinergics. Potentiates skeletal muscle relaxants. Antagonizes norepinephrine. Orthostatic hypotension potentiated by alcohol, CNS depressants. Thiazide-induced hypokalemia or hypomagnesemia may predispose patients to digoxin toxicity. Adjust antidiabetic drugs. Renal excretion may be reduced and myelosuppression enhanced with antineoplastic agents. Antagonized by pro-kinetic drugs. Increased risk of hyperuricemia with cyclosporine. Anion exchange resins; administer at least 4hrs before or 4–6hrs after resin administration. Nitritoid reactions with concomitant injectable gold (eg, sodium aurothiomalate); rare. May interfere with parathyroid test.
