Aldactazide Drug Interactions

When certain medicines, such as barbiturates, amiloride, or ACE inhibitors, are taken with Aldactazide, drug interactions may occur. Some interactions can cause your blood pressure to decrease too much, while others can lead to high potassium levels in your blood. Other medicines that may cause negative Aldactazide drug interactions include triamterene, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, angiotensin II receptor blockers, and diabetes medications.
