More Detail About Trandolapril Interactions
Diuretics
When taking
trandolapril with a diuretic, your
blood pressure may decrease too much. This is more likely to occur when trandolapril is first started. In order to decrease the chances of this interaction, your healthcare provider may change the dosages of either medicine, start you on a lower dose of trandolapril, and/or monitor you more closely.
Nonsteroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs)
If you have kidney disease or kidney failure, taking
NSAIDs with trandolapril may add to the damage that your kidneys are already suffering. Also, NSAIDs may decrease the blood pressure-lowering effects of trandolapril. Talk with your healthcare provider about using NSAIDs and trandolapril together.
Potassium Supplements
If you are taking a potassium supplement with trandolapril, the levels of potassium in your blood may become too high. This can cause serious problems. Talk with your healthcare provider about using potassium and trandolapril together.
Potassium-Sparing Diuretics
If you are taking both trandolapril and a potassium-sparing diuretic, your body may metabolize the medicines differently than intended and/or increase the levels of potassium in your blood. Your healthcare provider may choose to monitor your progress closely.
Lithium (Eskalith, Lithane, Lithonate, Lithotabs)
If you are taking both trandolapril and
lithium, your body may metabolize the drugs differently than intended and increase the lithium levels in the blood. Your healthcare provider may choose to monitor your serum lithium levels more frequently.
