Contraindicated medicinal combinations
Dantrolene (for intravenous administration): in cases of laboratory animals fibrillation of ventricles with a lethal outcome was noted against the background of verapamil and intravenous administration of dantrolene. Extrapolating available data, simultaneous application of dantrolen and verapamil.
Simultaneous administration of ACE inhibitors with aliskiren and aliskiren-containing preparations in patients with diabetes mellitus and / or moderate or severe renal dysfunction (GFR less than 60 mL / min / 1.73 m2 body surface area) increases the risk hyperkalemia, impaired renal function, and increased rates of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality.
Combinations of medicines, requiring special care when applying
Inhibitor inhibitors CYP3A4: with simultaneous application diltiazem in a dose of 180 mg and amlodipine in a dose of 5 mg in patients aged 69 to 87 years with arterial hypertension, there was an increase in system exposure of amlodipine by 57%. At the same time, amlodipine and erythromycin in healthy volunteers (18 to 43 years) does not lead to significant changes in exposure to amlodipine (an increase AUC on 22%). Despite the fact that the clinical significance of these effects to the end it is unclear whether they can be more pronounced in elderly patients.
Powerful inhibitors of isoenzyme CYP3A4 (eg, ketoconazole. itraconazole) can lead to an increase in the concentration of amlodipine in the blood plasma to a greater extent than diltiazem. It should be used with caution amlodipine and isoenzyme inhibitors CYP3A4.
Clarithromycin: isoenzyme inhibitor CYP3A4. In patients taking both clarithromycin and amlodipine, increased risk of lowering blood pressure. Patients who take this combination are recommended to be under close medical supervision.
Inductors of isoenzyme CYP3A4: data on the influence of inducers isoenzyme CYP3A4 there is no pharmacokinetics of amlodipine. It is necessary to carefully monitor blood pressure while using amlodipine and isoenzyme inducers CYP3A4.
Tacrolimus: with simultaneous use with amlodipine there is a risk of increasing tacrolimus concentration in the blood plasma. In order to avoid the toxicity of tacrolimus when used simultaneously with amlodipine, the concentration of tacrolimus in the blood plasma should be monitored and the dose of tacrolimus should be adjusted if necessary.
Baclofen enhances the antihypertensive effect of ACE inhibitors, requires monitoring of blood pressure and, if necessary, correction of doses of antihypertensive drugs.
Combinations of medicines, requiring caution when applying
Caution should be applied lisinopril at the same time with potassium-sparing diuretics (spironolactone, triamterene, amiloride, eplerenone), potassium preparations, salt substitutes, containing potassium, cyclosporin - the risk of hyperkalemia increases, especially with impaired renal function. Therefore, these combinations should be used only on the basis of the individual solutions at regular physician monitoring the potassium content in blood serum and renal function.
May increase antianginal and antihypertensive action of BCCI when combined with thiazide and "loop" diuretics, ACE inhibitors and nitrates, beta-blockers, as well as strengthening their antihypertensive effects when combined with alpha 1-blockers, neuroleptics. Beta-blockers while the use of amlodipine may cause worsening CHF flow.
Simultaneous prolonged use of simvastatin 80 mg per day of amlodipine and 10 mg per day leads to 77% increase in exposure of simvastatin. It is recommended to reduce the dose of simvastatin in patients taking amlodipine, up to 20 mg per day.
Although no negative inotropic effects were usually observed in the study of amlodipine, nevertheless, some BCCCs can enhance the expression of negative inotropic action antiarrhythmic drugs, causing lengthening of the interval QT (eg, amiodarone and quinidine).
With the simultaneous use of lisinopril with vasodilators, barbiturates, antipsychotic agents (antipsychotics), tricyclic antidepressants, general anesthetic agents, muscle relaxants, BCCC, beta-blockers possibly increased antihypertensive effect.
Antiviral drugs (ritonavir) increases plasma concentrations of BCCC, including amlodipine.
Neuroleptics and isoflurane - increased antihypertensive effect of dihydropyridine derivatives.
Grapefruit juice: simultaneous single administration of 240 mg grapefruit juice and 10 mg of amlodipine inside is not accompanied by a significant change in the pharmacokinetics of amlodipine. Nevertheless, it is not recommended to use grapefruit juice and amlodipine At the same time, as in the genetic polymorphism of the isoenzyme CYP3A4 it is possible to increase the bioavailability of amlodipine and, as a result, enhance antihypertensive action.
Ethanol strengthens the action of lisinopril.
Calcium preparations can reduce the effect of BCCI.
In the joint application of BCCI with lithium preparations (there are no data for amlodipine), it is possible to intensify the manifestation of their neurotoxicity (nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, ataxia, tremor, tinnitus).
Studies of simultaneous use of amlodipine and cyclosporine in healthy volunteers and all patient groups, except for patients after kidney transplantation, were not performed. Various studies of amlodipine with cyclosporine in patients after kidney transplantation show that the use of this combination may not lead to any effect, or increase the minimum concentration of cyclosporin to varying degrees to 40%. These data should be taken into account and the concentration of cyclosporine in this group of patients should be monitored while cyclosporine and amlodipine are used simultaneously.
With simultaneous application amlodipine can increase the system exposure tasononemine in the blood plasma.In such cases, regular monitoring of the tasononemine in the blood and a dose adjustment if necessary.
When used simultaneously with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) (including selective inhibitors of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2)), acetylsalicylic acid at a dose of more than 3 g / day, estrogens, as well as sympathomimetics, decreases the antihypertensive effect of lisinopril. NSAIDs, including COX-2, and ACE inhibitors increase serum potassium levels and can worsen renal function. This effect is usually reversible.
Lizinopril slows the withdrawal of drugs lithium, therefore, with simultaneous application, a reversible increase in its concentration in the blood plasma occurs, which may increase the likelihood of development undesirable phenomena, therefore, the maintenance of lithium in blood serum should be regularly monitored.
When used simultaneously with antacids and colestyramine the absorption of lisinopril from the digestive tract decreases.
In elderly patients and patients with impaired renal function, simultaneous administration of ACE inhibitors with sulfamethoxazole / trimethoprim accompanied by severe hyperkalemia, which is believed to be caused by trimethoprim, so the drug should be used with caution with preparations containing trimethoprim, regularly monitoring the potassium content in the blood plasma.
With the simultaneous use of lisinopril with heparin it is possible to increase the potassium content in the blood serum.
When combined with lisinopril with selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors can lead to severe hyponatraemia.
Simultaneous use of ACE inhibitors with drugs containing aliskiren or ARA II, patients can lead to a double blockade of RAAS (risk of arterial hypotension, hyperkalemia and kidney failure), so care must be taken.
Other drug interactions
Amlodipine
Amlodipine can be safely used for the therapy of arterial hypertension along with thiazide diuretics, alpha-adrenoblockers or ACE inhibitors.
In patients with stable angina pectoris amlodipine can be used with other antianginal agents, for example, with prolonged or short-acting nitrates, beta-blockers.
Unlike other BCCC, clinically significant interaction of amlodipine was not found when combined with NSAIDs, including indomethacin. Amlodipine can be safely used with antibiotics and hypoglycemic agents for oral administration. A single dose of 100 mg sildenafil in patients with hypertension does not affect the pharmacokinetics parameters of amlodipine.
With simultaneous application with sildenafil, it is necessary to control blood pressure (the risk of developing arterial hypotension).
Repeated use of amlodipine in a dose of 10 mg and atorvastatin in a dose of 80 mg is not accompanied by significant changes in the pharmacokinetics of atorvastatin.
Ethanol (drinks containing alcohol): amlodipine at a single and repeated application in a dose of 10 mg does not affect the pharmacokinetics of ethanol. Does not affect serum concentration digoxin and its renal clearance.
Has no significant effect on the action warfarin (prothrombin time).
Cimetidine does not affect the pharmacokinetics of amlodipine.
In studies in vitro Amlodipine does not affect the binding to plasma proteins digoxin, phenytoin, warfarin and indomethacin ..
Aluminum - or magnesium-containing antacids: their single administration does not have a significant effect on the pharmacokinetics of amlodipine.
Corticosteroids (mineral and glucocorticosteroids), tetracosactide
Reduction of antihypertensive action (fluid retention and sodium ions due to the action of corticosteroids).
Amifostine
It is possible to increase the antihypertensive effect of amlodipine.
Lisinopril
When used simultaneously with insulin and hypoglycemic agents for oral administration increases the risk of developing hypoglycemia.
With simultaneous use of ACE inhibitors and preparations of gold intravenously (sodium aurotomy malate) describes a symptom complex, which includes facial flushing, nausea, vomiting and lowering blood pressure.
Joint application with Allopurinol, procainamide, cytostatics can lead to leukopenia.
Estramustine
Simultaneous application can lead to an increased risk of side effects, such as angioedema.
Inhibitors mTOR (mammalion Target of Rapamycin - a target of rapamycin in mammalian cells) (for example, tessirolimus, sirolimus, everolimus) In patients taking both ACE inhibitors and inhibitors mTOR, there was an increased risk of angioedema.
Glyptins (linaglyptin, saxagliptin, sitagliptin, vildagliptin)
Co-administration with ACE inhibitors may increase the risk of developing angioedema due to inhibition of dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DAP-IV) glyptins.
Inhibitors of neutral endopeptidase
Due to the action of neutral endopeptidase (NEP) inhibitors, the activity of endogenous vasodilating substances increases, therefore, with the simultaneous use of lisinopril with vasodilators (omapatrilat, ilepatril), an increase in the antihypertensive effect is possible.
