Edit list (add/remove drugs)

Interactions between your drugs

Moderate

moexipril angiotensin II

Applies to: moexipril and angiotensin II

MONITOR: Concomitant use of angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors may increase the pharmacologic response to angiotensin II according to the prescribing information. The mechanism may involve inhibition of ACE that contributes to the metabolism of angiotensin II.

MANAGEMENT: Close monitoring of therapeutic response is recommended when angiotensin II is administered to patients treated with ACE inhibitors.

Drug and food interactions

Moderate

moexipril food

Applies to: moexipril

GENERALLY AVOID: Moderate-to-high dietary intake of potassium can cause hyperkalemia in some patients who are using angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors. In some cases, affected patients were using a potassium-rich salt substitute. ACE inhibitors can promote hyperkalemia through inhibition of the renin-aldosterone-angiotensin (RAA) system.

MANAGEMENT: It is recommended that patients who are taking ACE inhibitors be advised to avoid moderately high or high potassium dietary intake. Particular attention should be paid to the potassium content of salt substitutes.

Drug Interaction Classification

These classifications are only a guideline. The relevance of a particular drug interaction to a specific individual is difficult to determine. Always consult your healthcare provider before starting or stopping any medication.
Major Highly clinically significant. Avoid combinations; the risk of the interaction outweighs the benefit.
Moderate Moderately clinically significant. Usually avoid combinations; use it only under special circumstances.
Minor Minimally clinically significant. Minimize risk; assess risk and consider an alternative drug, take steps to circumvent the interaction risk and/or institute a monitoring plan.
Unknown No interaction information available.
