Increases the concentration of lithium ions in the blood plasma (decreased excretion in the urine), lithium has a nephrotoxic effect.
Increases the risk of violations of kidney fiction when using iodine-containing contrast media in high doses (dehydration of the body). Before using iodine-containing contrast agents, patients need to restore the volume of circulating blood.
Reduces the effect of indirect anticoagulants (coumarin or indanedione derivatives) due to an increase in the concentration of clotting factors as a result of a decrease in the volume of circulating blood and increase in their production by the liver (dosage adjustment may be required).
Strengthens the blockade of the neuromuscular transmission, which develops under the action of nondepolarizing muscle relaxants.
Saluretics (loop, thiazide), cardiac glycosides, glucocorticosteroids and mineralocorticosteroids, tetracosactide, amphotericin B (with intravenous administration), laxative drugs increase the risk of hypokalemia.
With simultaneous admission with cardiac glycosides, the likelihood of developing digitalis intoxication increases; with calcium preparations - hypercalcemia; with metformin - the risk of development of lactic acidosis increases.
Astemizole, erythromycin (with intravenous administration), pentamidine, sultopride, terfenadine, wincamine, antiarrhythmic drugs of IA class (quinidine, disopyramide) and III class (amiodarone, brethil tosylate), sotalol, some neuroleptics: phenothiazines (chlorpromazine, cyamemazine, levomepromazine, thioridazine, trifluoperazine), benzamides (amisulpride, sulpiride, sultopride, tiapride), butyrophenones (droperidol, haloperidol), other (bepridil, cisapride, difemanyl, halofantrine, misolastine, sparfloxacin, moxifloxacin) can lead to the development of pirouette-type arrhythmias due to the synergistic effect (lengthening) on the duration of the QT interval.
Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, including selective inhibitors of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), high doses of acetylsalicylic acid (3 g / day or more), glucocorticosteroids, tetracosactide, adrenostimulants reduce the antihypertensive effect, baclofen - Strengthens.
Combination with potassium-sparing diuretics can be effective in some patients, but the possibility of hypo- or hyperkalemia, especially in patients with diabetes mellitus and renal insufficiency, is not completely excluded.
Angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors increase the risk of arterial hypotension and / or acute renal failure (especially with existing renal artery stenosis).
Imipramine (tricyclic) antidepressants and antipsychotic drugs (neuroleptics) increase the antihypertensive effect and increase the risk of developing orthostatic hypotension.
Cyclosporine and tacrolimus increase the risk of hypercreatininaemia.
