You may need a dose adjustment of your diabetic medications during and after treatment with hydroCHLOROthiazide. It is important to tell your doctor about all other medications you use, including vitamins and herbs. Do not stop using any medications without first talking to your doctor.

Moderate

hydroCHLOROthiazide dapagliflozin

Applies to: Amturnide (aliskiren / amlodipine / hydrochlorothiazide) and Qtern (dapagliflozin / saxagliptin)

Dapagliflozin may add to the diuretic effects of hydroCHLOROthiazide. This may increase the risk of dehydration, kidney problems, and low blood pressure. You may experience headache, dizziness, lightheadedness, fainting, and/or changes in pulse or heart rate. Use caution when getting up from a sitting or lying position, and let your doctor know if you develop these symptoms. Keep yourself hydrated by drinking plenty of fluids unless otherwise directed. You should seek medical advice immediately if you have reduced oral intake (for example, due to acute illness) or increased fluid loss (for example, due to vomiting, diarrhea, or excessive heat exposure), as it may be appropriate to interrupt one or both medications temporarily under these circumstances. In addition, hydroCHLOROthiazide may interfere with blood glucose control and reduce the effectiveness of dapagliflozin and other diabetic medications. Monitor your blood sugar levels closely. You may need a dose adjustment of your diabetic medications during and after treatment with hydroCHLOROthiazide. It is important to tell your doctor about all other medications you use, including vitamins and herbs. Do not stop using any medications without first talking to your doctor.

amLODIPine dapagliflozin

Applies to: Amturnide (aliskiren / amlodipine / hydrochlorothiazide) and Qtern (dapagliflozin / saxagliptin)

Dapagliflozin may cause salt and water loss, which may increase the risk of dehydration and low blood pressure when used with amLODIPine or similar medications. You may experience headache, dizziness, lightheadedness, fainting, and/or changes in pulse or heart rate. Use caution when getting up from a sitting or lying position, and let your doctor know if you develop these symptoms. You may need a dose adjustment or more frequent monitoring by your doctor to safely use both medications. Keep yourself hydrated by drinking plenty of fluids unless otherwise directed. It is important to tell your doctor about all other medications you use, including vitamins and herbs. Do not stop using any medications without first talking to your doctor.

hydroCHLOROthiazide amLODIPine

Applies to: Amturnide (aliskiren / amlodipine / hydrochlorothiazide) and Amturnide (aliskiren / amlodipine / hydrochlorothiazide)

Information for this minor interaction is available on the professional version.

Drug and food interactions

Moderate

aliskiren food

Applies to: Amturnide (aliskiren / amlodipine / hydrochlorothiazide)

Food can affect the absorption of aliskiren from the intestine. Therefore, you should take aliskiren at the same time each day exactly as prescribed by your doctor. You may take aliskiren with or without food, but take it the same way every time. This will help keep blood levels and effects of the medication steady. You should avoid drinking orange, apple, or grapefruit juice as much as possible during treatment with aliskiren. Studies have shown that drinking these juices regularly or within a short period before or after a dose of aliskiren can interfere with the absorption of the medication.

Moderate

sAXagliptin food

Applies to: Qtern (dapagliflozin / saxagliptin)

Alcohol may affect blood glucose levels in patients with diabetes. Both hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) and hyperglycemia (high blood sugar) may occur, depending on how much and how often you drink. You should avoid using alcohol if your diabetes is not well controlled or if you have high triglycerides, neuropathy (nerve damage), or pancreatitis. Moderate alcohol consumption generally does not affect blood glucose levels if your diabetes is under control. However, it may be best to limit alcohol intake to one drink daily for women and two drinks daily for men (1 drink = 5 oz wine, 12 oz beer, or 1.5 oz distilled spirits) in conjunction with your normal meal plan. Avoid drinking alcohol on an empty stomach or following exercise, as it may increase the risk of hypoglycemia. It is important to tell your doctor about all other medications you use, including vitamins and herbs. Do not stop using any medications without first talking to your doctor.
