Edit list (add/remove drugs)

Interactions between your drugs

Moderate

perindopril dexmethylphenidate

Applies to: perindopril and dexmethylphenidate / serdexmethylphenidate

Dexmethylphenidate may cause an increase in blood pressure and may diminish the effects of perindopril on blood pressure. Contact your doctor if your condition changes. If your doctor does prescribe these medications together, you may need a dose adjustment or need your blood pressure checked more often to safely use both medications. 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

perindopril serdexmethylphenidate

Applies to: perindopril and dexmethylphenidate / serdexmethylphenidate

Serdexmethylphenidate may cause an increase in blood pressure and may diminish the effects of perindopril on blood pressure. Contact your doctor if your condition changes. If your doctor does prescribe these medications together, you may need a dose adjustment or need your blood pressure checked more often to safely use both medications. 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

dexmethylphenidate serdexmethylphenidate

Applies to: dexmethylphenidate / serdexmethylphenidate and dexmethylphenidate / serdexmethylphenidate

Both dexmethylphenidate and serdexmethylphenidate can increase blood pressure and heart rate, and combining them may enhance these effects. Talk to your doctor before using these medications, especially if you have a history of high blood pressure or heart disease. You may need a dose adjustment or more frequent monitoring by your doctor to safely use both medications. Contact your doctor if your condition changes or you experience increased side effects. 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.

Drug and food interactions

Moderate

perindopril food

Applies to: perindopril

Consumer information for this interaction is not currently available.

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.

ADJUST DOSING INTERVAL: Administration with food decreased the biotransformation of perindopril to its active metabolite, perindoprilat, resulting in a decrease of perindoprilat bioavailability by 35% and a reduction in the plasma ACE inhibition curve of approximately 20%. When administered as part of a combination product with amlodipine and taken with food, perindopril and perindoprilat absorption rates have decreased by 18% and 14%, respectively, versus fasting. No effect of food on the extent of unmetabolized perindopril absorption has been observed.

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. Some authorities recommend administering perindopril before a meal, preferably in the morning. According to the prescribing information, the combination product containing perindopril and amlodipine may be taken with or without food.

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.
