Does Nonsteroidal Anti Inflammatory Drugs Nsaids Interact with Candesartan Cilexetil And Hydrochlorothiazide?
CDI records a major classification for Nonsteroidal Anti Inflammatory Drugs Nsaids and Candesartan Cilexetil And Hydrochlorothiazide. The stored summary is: Co-administration may result in deterioration of renal function, including possible acute renal failure, especially in elderly, volume-depleted, or renally compromised patients. NSAIDs may attenuate antihypertensive effect. The mechanism involves renal function compromise through angiotensin ii receptor antagonism. Patients taking both medications should consult their healthcare provider before starting, stopping, or changing the dosage of either drug. This record was extracted from drug labeling through openFDA. NIH/NLM RxNorm is used for drug identities. The summary and severity classification are CDI's processed information, not a verbatim source quotation. Product, route, and patient circumstances matter.
