Aldactazide Drug Interactions (Cont.)

Aldactazide Interactions Explained

The following sections explain in detail the potentially negative interactions that can occur when Aldactazide is combined with any of the drugs listed above.
 
ACE Inhibitors
Combining Aldactazide with ACE inhibitors can increase your risk of high potassium levels in your blood (hyperkalemia). Your healthcare provider should check your potassium levels regularly if you are taking both of these medications.
 
Alcohol
Drinking alcohol while taking Aldactazide can increase your risk of low blood pressure, especially when sitting or standing up suddenly. Talk to your healthcare provider about combining alcohol with Aldactazide.
 
Amiloride (Midamor) or Amiloride-HCTZ (Moduretic)
Aldactazide should not be taken with amiloride or amiloride-HCTZ. Taking these two medications together increases your risk of high potassium levels (hyperkalemia).
 
Angiotensin II Receptor Blockers (ARBs)
Combining Aldactazide with ARBs can increase the risk of high potassium levels in your blood (hyperkalemia). Your healthcare provider should check your potassium levels regularly if you are taking both of these medications.
 
Barbiturates
Taking Aldactazide with a barbiturate can increase your risk of low blood pressure, especially when sitting or standing up suddenly. Talk to your healthcare provider before using these medications together.
 
Other Blood Pressure Medicines
When taking Aldactazide with another high blood pressure medication, your blood pressure may decrease too much. In order to decrease the chances of this interaction, your healthcare provider may monitor you more closely and change the dose of either medicine.
