hydroCHLOROthiazide quinapril

Applies to: hydrochlorothiazide / quinapril and hydrochlorothiazide / quinapril

MONITOR: Although they are frequently combined in clinical practice, diuretics and angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors may have additive effects. Coadministration makes hypotension and hypovolemia more likely than does either drug alone. Some ACE inhibitors may attenuate the increase in the urinary excretion of sodium caused by some loop diuretics. Some patients on diuretics, especially those on dialysis or a dietary salt restriction, may experience acute hypotension with lightheadedness and dizziness after receiving the first dose of the ACE inhibitor. In addition, ACE inhibitors may cause renal insufficiency or acute renal failure in patients with sodium depletion or renal artery stenosis.

MANAGEMENT: Monitoring of blood pressure, diuresis, electrolytes, and renal function is recommended during coadministration. The possibility of first-dose hypotensive effects may be minimized by initiating therapy with small doses of the ACE inhibitor, or either discontinuing the diuretic temporarily or increasing the salt intake approximately one week prior to initiating an ACE inhibitor. Alternatively, the patient may remain under medical supervision for at least two hours after the first dose of the ACE inhibitor, or until blood pressure has stabilized.

hydroCHLOROthiazide bexagliflozin

Applies to: hydrochlorothiazide / quinapril and bexagliflozin

MONITOR: Sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT-2) inhibitors may potentiate the diuretic and hypotensive effects of thiazides. Inhibition of glucose and sodium co-transport produces mild diuresis and transient natriuresis, resulting in intravascular volume contraction. Volume depletion-related adverse reactions including hypotension, postural dizziness, orthostatic hypotension, syncope, dehydration, acute kidney injury, and renal function impairment can occur after initiating treatment with SGLT-2 inhibitors, and the risk is increased with concomitant use of diuretics. Conversely, thiazides can cause hyperglycemia and may reduce the therapeutic effects of SGLT-2 inhibitors.

MANAGEMENT: Caution is advised during concomitant use of SGLT-2 inhibitors and thiazides, particularly in the elderly and patients with impaired renal function. Prior to initiating SGLT-2 inhibitors, volume status should be assessed and corrected, if necessary. Clinical and laboratory monitoring are recommended during therapy, including electrolytes, fluid status, renal function, and blood pressure. Blood glucose should also be monitored more closely. If volume depletion occurs, treatment with SGLT-2 inhibitors should be interrupted until the condition is corrected.

Volume depletion-related adverse reactions including hypotension, postural dizziness, orthostatic hypotension, syncope, and dehydration can occur after initiating treatment with SGLT-2 inhibitors, and the risk may be increased with concomitant use of other agents that can lower blood pressure.

quinapril food

Applies to: hydrochlorothiazide / quinapril

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.

bexagliflozin food

Applies to: bexagliflozin

GENERALLY AVOID: Alcohol may cause hypoglycemia or hyperglycemia in patients with diabetes. Hypoglycemia most frequently occurs during acute consumption of alcohol. Even modest amounts can lower blood sugar significantly, especially when the alcohol is ingested on an empty stomach or following exercise. The mechanism involves inhibition of both gluconeogenesis as well as the counter-regulatory response to hypoglycemia. Episodes of hypoglycemia may last for 8 to 12 hours after ethanol ingestion. By contrast, chronic alcohol abuse can cause impaired glucose tolerance and hyperglycemia. Moderate alcohol consumption generally does not affect blood glucose levels in patients with well controlled diabetes. A disulfiram-like reaction (e.g., flushing, headache, and nausea) to alcohol has been reported frequently with the use of chlorpropamide and very rarely with other sulfonylureas.

MANAGEMENT: Patients with diabetes should avoid consuming alcohol if their blood glucose is not well controlled, or if they have hypertriglyceridemia, neuropathy, or pancreatitis. Patients with well controlled diabetes should limit their 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 their normal meal plan. Alcohol should not be consumed on an empty stomach or following exercise.

hydroCHLOROthiazide food

Applies to: hydrochlorothiazide / quinapril

MONITOR: Many psychotherapeutic and CNS-active agents (e.g., anxiolytics, sedatives, hypnotics, antidepressants, antipsychotics, opioids, alcohol, muscle relaxants) exhibit hypotensive effects, especially during initiation of therapy and dose escalation. Coadministration with antihypertensives and other hypotensive agents, in particular vasodilators and alpha-blockers, may result in additive effects on blood pressure and orthostasis.

MANAGEMENT: Caution and close monitoring for development of hypotension is advised during coadministration of these agents. Some authorities recommend avoiding alcohol in patients receiving vasodilating antihypertensive drugs. Patients should be advised to avoid rising abruptly from a sitting or recumbent position and to notify their physician if they experience dizziness, lightheadedness, syncope, orthostasis, or tachycardia.

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.
