Amlodipine
Contraindicated drug combinations
Dantrolene (intravenous administration)
In laboratory animals, cases of ventricular fibrillation with a lethal outcome and collapse were observed with verapamil and intravenous dantrolene. accompanied by hyperkalemia. Due to the risk of developing hyperkalemia, simultaneous use of the drug Ecupress, containing amlodipine, a blocker of "slow" calcium channels, in patients prone to malignant hyperthermia, as well as in the treatment of malignant hyperthermia.
Unrecommended combinations of drugs
Grapefruit juice
Taking amlodipine with grapefruit or grapefruit juice is not recommended, as in some patients the bioavailability of amlodipine may increase, which leads to an increase in the effects of lowering blood pressure.
Combinations of medicines, requiring special care when applying
Inductors of isoenzyme CYP3A4
Data on the influence of inducers of isoenzyme CYP3A4 on the pharmacokinetics of amlodipine are absent. Simultaneous reception of isoenzyme inducers CYP3A4 (for example, rifampicin, St. John's wort products) and amlodipine may lead to a decrease in plasma concentrations of amlodipine. Caution should be exercised while using the drug Ecupress and isoenzyme inducers CYP3A4.
Inhibitor inhibitors CYP3A4
Simultaneous reception of amlodipine and strong or moderate inhibitors CYP3A4 (protease inhibitors, for example, ritonavir, antifungal agents of the azole group, macrolides, for example, erythromycin or clarithromycin, verapamil or diltiazem) can lead to a significant increase in the concentration of amlodipine. Clinical manifestations of these pharmacokinetic abnormalities may be more pronounced in elderly patients. In this regard, it may be necessary to monitor the clinical status and dose adjustment of the drug Ecupress.
Combinations of medicines, requiring caution when applying
Simvastatin
Multiple admission of amlodipine at a dose of 10 mg in combination with simvastatin at a dose of 80 mg led to an increase in the exposure of simvastatin by 77% compared with simvastatin monotherapy.Thus, patients receiving amlodipine, should be taken simvastatin in a daily dose of not more than 20 mg.
Calcium preparations
Can reduce the effect of BCCI.
Lithium preparations
When BCCC is combined with lithium preparations (there is no data for amlodipine), the manifestation of their neurotoxicity may be enhanced (nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, ataxia, tremor, or tinnitus).
Baclofen
Increased antihypertensive effect. It is necessary to monitor blood pressure and kidney function, if necessary - adjust the dose of amlodipine.
Amifostine
It is possible to increase the antihypertensive effect of amlodipine.
Glucocorticosteroids
Reduction of antihypertensive action (fluid retention and sodium ions due to the action of corticosteroids).
Tricyclic antidepressants of antipsychotics, isoflurane
There is an increased risk of orthostatic hypotension and increased antihypertensive effect (additive effect).
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,It is necessary to monitor the concentration of tacrolimus in the blood plasma of patients and adjust the dose of tacrolimus, if necessary.
Tasononmin
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.
Other interactions with amlodipine
For the treatment of hypertension amlodipine can be safely applied with thiazide diuretics, alpha-adrenoblockers, beta-blockers and ACE inhibitors. In patients with stable angina, simultaneous use of amlodipine with other antianginal drugs, such as nitrates long and short action, beta-blockers.
Probably, an increase in the anti-anginal and antihypertensive effect of BCCK with simultaneous use with thiazide and loop diuretics, ACE inhibitors, beta-adrenoblockers and nitrates, as well as an increase in their antihypertensive effect when administered with alpha-1-adrenergic blockers and neuroleptics.
Amlodipine does not cause a negative inotropic effect.Nevertheless, some BCCI may increase the severity of the negative inotropic effect of antiarrhythmic drugs that cause lengthening of the interval QT (eg, amiodarone and quinidine).
Unlike other BCCI, there was no significant interaction of amlodipine (3rd generation BCCC) and NSAIDs, including indomethacin.
Securely assign amlodipine from oral hypoglycemic drugs. One-time reception sildenafil in a dose of 100 mg in patients with essential hypertension did not affect the pharmacokinetics of amlodipine. A joint multiple dose of amlodipine at a dose of 10 mg and atorvastatin in a dose of 80 mg led to an insignificant change in the pharmacokinetic parameters of atorvastatin in a state of equilibrium concentration.
Ethanol (drinks containing alcohol): amlodipine does not have a significant effect on the pharmacokinetics of ethanol with a single and repeated application in a dose of 10 mg. Interaction Studies cyclosporine and amlodipine in healthy volunteers and in special groups of patients were not performed, except for patients after kidney transplantation.Various studies of the interaction of amlodipine with cyclosporine in patients after kidney transplantation show that the use of this combination can either not lead to any effect or increase the minimum concentration of cyclosporin to varying degrees to 40%. It is necessary to monitor the concentration of cyclosporine in patients after kidney transplantation.
With the simultaneous use of amlodipine and digoxin the renal clearance and serum digoxin concentration do not change.
With simultaneous application warfarin with amlodipine prothrombin time does not change.
When used simultaneously with cimetidine the pharmacokinetics of amlodipine does not change.
Amlodipine does not affect the degree of binding digoxin, phenytoin, warfarin and indomethacin with blood plasma proteins in vitro.
Aluminum and magnesium-containing antacids: a single administration of such antacids together with amlodipine does not significantly affect the pharmacokinetics of amlodipine.
Indapamide
Contraindicated combinations of medicines
Lithium preparations
With the simultaneous use of indapamide and lithium preparations,as well as when observing a salt-free diet, there may be an increase in the concentration of lithium in the blood plasma due to a decrease in its excretion, accompanied by the appearance of signs of an overdose. If necessary, diuretic drugs can be used in combination with lithium preparations, while carefully monitoring the lithium content in blood plasma and appropriately select the dose of the drug.
Combinations of drugs that require extreme caution when used
Drugs that can cause polymorphic ventricular tachycardia such as "pirouette"
- Antiarrhythmic drugs IA class (quinidine, hydroquinidine, disopyramide).
- Antiarrhythmic drugs of III class (amiodarone, sotalol, dofetilide, ibutilide).
- Some antipsychotics: phenothiazines (chlorpromazine, cyamemazine, levomepromazine, thioridazine, trifluoperazine), benzamides (amisulpride, sulpiride, sultopride, tiapride), butyrophenones (droperidol, haloperidol).
- Others: beprideil, cisapride, difemanyl, erythromycin (intravenously), halofantrine, misolastine, pentamidine, sparfloxacin, moxifloxacin, astemizole, wincamine (intravenously).
Increased risk of ventricular arrhythmias, especially polymorphic ventricular tachycardia such as pirouette (risk factor - hypokalemia).
It is necessary to determine the concentration of potassium in the blood plasma and, if necessary, adjust it before the start of combination therapy with indapamide and the above drugs. It is necessary to monitor the clinical state of the patient, control the level of electrolytes of blood plasma, ECG parameters.
Patients with hypokalemia should use drugs that do not cause polymorphic ventricular tachycardia such as pirouette.
Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (for systemic use), including selective inhibitors of COX-2, high doses of salicylic acid (≥3 g / day)
It is possible to reduce the antihypertensive effect of indapamide.
There is a risk of developing acute kidney failure due to reduced glomerular filtration. Patients need to compensate for fluid loss and at the beginning of treatment carefully monitor kidney function.
ACE Inhibitors
The appointment of ACE inhibitors to patients with a initially reduced concentration of sodium ions in the blood (especially patients with renal stenosisarteries) is accompanied by a risk of sudden arterial hypotension and / or acute renal failure. Patients with hypertension and possibly decreased due to the intake of diuretics with the content of sodium ions in the blood plasma it is necessary:
- 3 days before the start of treatment with an ACE inhibitor stop taking a diuretic. In the future, if necessary, the intake of a non-potassium-sparing diuretic can be resumed;
- or initiate therapy with an ACE inhibitor from low doses, followed by a gradual increase in dose if necessary.
When chronic heart failure treatment with ACE inhibitors should be prescribed at the lowest dose with a possible preliminary reduction in the dose of diuretics. In all cases in the first weeks of taking ACE inhibitors in patients, it is necessary to monitor the kidney function (creatinine content in the blood plasma).
Other drugs that can cause hypokalemia: amphotericin B (with intravenous administration), gluco- and mineralocorticosteroids (with systemic application), tetrakozaktid, laxatives, stimulating motility intestines
Increased risk of hypokalemia (additive effect).
It is necessary to constantly monitor the concentration of potassium in the blood plasma, if necessary - its correction. Particular attention should be given to patients who simultaneously receive cardiac glycosides. It is recommended to use laxatives that do not stimulate intestinal motility.
Baclofen
There is an increase in antihypertensive effect.
Patients need to compensate for fluid loss and at the beginning of treatment carefully monitor kidney function.
Cardiac glycosides
Hypokalemia increases the toxic effect of cardiac glycosides.
With simultaneous use of indapamide and cardiac glycosides, it is necessary to monitor the potassium content in the blood plasma, the ECG parameters and, if necessary, adjust the therapy.
Combinations of medicines that require caution when used
Potassium-sparing diuretics (amiloride, spironolactone, triamterene, eplerenone) Combination therapy with indapamide and potassium-sparing diuretics is advisable in some patients, but the possibility of hypokalemia or hyperkalemia (especially in patients with diabetes mellitus or in patients with renal insufficiency) is not ruled out.
It is necessary to monitor the concentration of potassium in the blood plasma, the parameters of the ECG and, if necessary, adjust the therapy.
Metformin
Functional renal failure, which can occur against the background of diuretics, especially loop, with the simultaneous appointment of metformin increases the risk of lactic acidosis.
Do not use metformin, if the level of creatinine in the blood plasma exceeds 15 mg / L (135 μmol / L) in men and 12 mg / L (110 μmol / L) in women.
Iodine-Containing Contrasting Products
With dehydration caused by diuretics, the risk of acute renal failure increases, especially when high doses of iodine-containing contrast media are used.
Before using iodine-containing contrast agents, patients must compensate for fluid loss.
Tricyclic antidepressants, antipsychotics (antipsychotics)
Preparations of these classes increase the antihypertensive effect of indapamide and increase the risk of orthostatic hypotension (additive effect).
Salts of calcium
With simultaneous use, the risk of hypercalcemia is increased by reducing the excretion of calcium ions by the kidneys.
Cyclosporin, tacrolimus
It is possible to increase the creatinine content in the blood plasma without changing the concentration of circulating cyclosporine, even with a normal volume of circulating blood and sodium content in the blood plasma.
Glucocorticosteroid preparations, tetrakozaktid (with systemic application)
Reduction of antihypertensive action (fluid retention and sodium ions caused by corticosteroids).
Lisinopril
Contraindicated combinations of medicines
Aliskiren
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 surface area of the body) contraindicated.
The use of ACE inhibitors with angiotensin II receptor antagonists contraindicated patients with diabetic nephropathy.
Unrecommended combinations of drugs
Angiotensin II receptor antagonists (APA II)
In the literature it was reported that in patients with established atherosclerotic disease, chronic heart failure or diabetes mellitus with damage to target organs,simultaneous therapy with an ACE inhibitor and ARA II is associated with a higher incidence of arterial hypotension, syncope, hyperkalemia, and impaired renal function (including acute renal failure) compared with the use of only one drug that affects RAAS. Double blockade (for example, with the combination of an ACE inhibitor with APA II) should be limited to individual cases with careful monitoring of kidney function, potassium and blood pressure.
Potassium preparations, potassium-sparing diuretics (spironolactone, triamterene, amiloride. eplerenone) or potassium-containing salt substitutes
Perhaps the development of hyperkalemia (with a possible fatal outcome), especially if the kidney function is impaired (additional effects associated with hyperkalemia). ACE inhibitors should not be used concomitantly with substances that increase the level of potassium in the blood plasma, except for cases of hypokalemia. The combination of lisinopril and the above remedies is not recommended. If, however, simultaneous application is shown, they should be used, observing safety precautions and regularly monitoring the potassium content in serum.
Lithium preparations
With simultaneous use of lithium drugs and ACE inhibitors, a reversible increase in serum lithium concentration and related toxic effects can be noted. The simultaneous use of lisinopril and lithium preparations is not recommended. If this therapy is necessary, a regular monitoring of the concentration of lithium in serum should be carried out.
Combinations of medicines, requiring special care when applying
Insulin and oral hypoglycemic agents
Epidemiological studies have shown that the combined use of ACE inhibitors and hypoglycemic agents (insulins, hypoglycemic agents for oral administration) can enhance their hypoglycemic action until the development of hypoglycemia. This effect is most likely to be observed during the first weeks of simultaneous therapy, as well as in patients with impaired renal function. Baclofen
Strengthens the antihypertensive effect of ACE inhibitors. You should carefully monitor the level of blood pressure and, if necessary, adjust the dose of antihypertensive drugs.
Diuretics
In patients taking diuretics, especially those taking out fluid and / or salts, at the beginning of therapy with an ACE inhibitor, a significant reduction in blood pressure can be observed. The risk of developing antihypertensive effects can be reduced by eliminating the diuretic, replenishing the loss of fluid or salts before starting therapy with ACE inhibitors. With arterial hypertension in patients with previous diuretic therapy, which could lead to excessive excretion of fluid and / or salts, diuretics should be discontinued before the use of the drug Ecupress.
The function of the kidneys (creatinine concentration) should be monitored in the first weeks of using the drug Ecupress.
Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), including acetylsalicylic acid at a dose of ³3 g / day
Simultaneous use of ACE inhibitors with NSAIDs (acetylsalicylic acid in a dose that has an anti-inflammatory effect, cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) inhibitors and nonselective NSAIDs) can lead to a decrease in the antihypertensive effect of ACE inhibitors. Simultaneous use of ACE inhibitors and NSAIDs can lead to impaired renal function,including the development of acute renal failure and an increase in potassium in the blood serum, especially in patients with reduced renal function. Care should be taken when prescribing this combination, especially in elderly patients. Patients should compensate for the loss of fluids and carefully monitor renal function at the beginning of treatment and during treatment.
Estramustine, inhibitors mTOR (sirolimus, everolimus, tessirolimus), neutral endopeptidase inhibitors (omapatrilate, ilepatril, daglutril, sacubitryl) Simultaneous use of estramustine with ACE inhibitors is accompanied by an increased risk of angioedema.
DPP-4 inhibitors (glyptins)
Linagliptin, saxagliptin, sitagliptin, vildagliptin - when combined with ACE inhibitors, the risk of angioedema due to suppression of dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) by glyptin is increased.
Racecadotril (an enkephalinase inhibitor used to treat acute diarrhea)
With simultaneous use with ACE inhibitors, the risk of developing angioedema may increase.
Combinations of medicines that require caution when used
Other antihypertensives (for example,, beta-adrenoblockers, blockers of "slow" calcium channels, diuretics) and vasodilators
It is possible to increase the antihypertensive effect of the drug. Caution should be exercised when concomitant administration with nitroglycerin, other nitrates or other vasodilators, as this may further reduce blood pressure.
Antacids and cholestyramine
Simultaneous use with antacids and cholestyramine leads to suppression of gastrointestinal absorption.
Tricyclic antidepressants, antipsychotics, aids for general anesthesia, barbiturates, phenothiazine, ethanol
With joint admission, it is possible to intensify the action of lisinopril.
FROMimpatomimetics
Sympathomimetics can weaken the antihypertensive effect of ACE inhibitors.
Muscle relaxants
Simultaneous use of muscle relaxants with ACE inhibitors can lead to a marked decrease in blood pressure.
Preparations of gold
With the use of ACE inhibitors, including lisinopril, patients receiving intravenously a preparation of gold (sodium aurotomy malate), rare cases of nitrite reaction (a symptom complex including facial flushing, nausea, vomiting and arterial hypotension) have been described.
Co-trimoxazole (sulfamethoxazole and trimethoprim)
Increased risk of hyperkalemia.
Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs: escitalopram, paroxetine, fluoxetine, sertraline)
With simultaneous application with SSRIs, it is possible to develop pronounced hyponatremia.
Allopurinol, procainamide, cytostatics (5-fluorouracil, vincristine, docetaxel)
Possible development of leukopenia.
Tissue activators of plasminogen (alteplase, reteplase, tenecteplase)
Increased risk of angioedema and simultaneous use with ACE inhibitors.
