Dyazide Interactions Explained
The following sections explain in detail the potentially negative interactions that can occur when
Dyazide is combined with any of the drugs listed above.
ACE Inhibitors
Combining Dyazide with ACE inhibitors can increase your risk of high potassium levels in your blood (hyperkalemia). If you are taking these drugs together, your healthcare provider should check your potassium levels regularly to prevent this interaction from occurring.
Amiloride
Dyazide should not be taken with
amiloride. Taking these two medications together increases your risk of high potassium levels (hyperkalemia).
Amphotericin B
Taking amphotericin B along with Dyazide can increase your chances of low potassium levels. Your healthcare provider should check your potassium levels, and may need to take steps to correct it if this interaction occurs.
Angiotensin II Receptor Blockers
Combining Dyazide with ARBs can increase your risk of high potassium levels in your blood (hyperkalemia). As a precautionary measure, your healthcare provider should check your potassium levels regularly.
Other Blood Pressure Medicines
When taking Dyazide with another
high blood pressure medication, your
blood pressure may decrease too much. In order to minimize the chances of this Dyazide drug interaction, your healthcare provider may monitor you more closely and change the dose of either medicine.
Corticosteroids
Taking Dyazide with corticosteroids may increase your risk of low potassium levels (hypokalemia). If you are taking these drugs together, your healthcare provider should check your potassium levels regularly and may need to take steps to correct your potassium level.
