Applies to: lisinopril and Apidra (insulin glulisine)
MONITOR: The hypoglycemic effect of insulin may be potentiated by certain drugs, including ACE inhibitors, amylin analogs, anabolic steroids, fibrates, monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs), salicylates, selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), sulfonamides, disopyramide, propoxyphene, quinine, quinidine, and ginseng. These drugs may increase the risk of hypoglycemia by enhancing insulin sensitivity (ACE inhibitors, fibrates, ginseng); stimulating insulin secretion (salicylates, disopyramide, quinine, quinidine, MAOIs, ginseng); increasing peripheral glucose utilization (SSRIs, insulin-like growth factor); inhibiting gluconeogenesis (SSRIs, MAOIs, insulin-like growth factor); slowing the rate of gastric emptying (amylin analogs); and/or suppressing postprandial glucagon secretion (amylin analogs). Clinical hypoglycemia has been reported during use of some of these agents alone or with insulin and/or insulin secretagogues.
MANAGEMENT: Close monitoring for the development of hypoglycemia is recommended if these drugs are coadministered with insulin, particularly in patients with advanced age and/or renal impairment. The insulin dosage may require adjustment if an interaction is suspected. Patients should be apprised of the signs and symptoms of hypoglycemia (e.g., headache, dizziness, drowsiness, nausea, hunger, tremor, weakness, sweating, palpitations), how to treat it, and to contact their physician if it occurs. Patients should be observed for loss of glycemic control when these drugs are withdrawn.
