Compatibility «Enalapril» and «Torasemide»

• Interactions Enalapril with Torasemide

  • Dangerous interactions
    • ⓘ In patients receiving diuretics, especially with the recent appointment of diuretic therapy, there may be an excessive decrease in blood pressure after the start of enalapril.
    • ⓘ In the elderly, patients with hypovolemia (including those receiving diuretics) or impaired renal function, the simultaneous use of enalapril and NSAIDs, including selective COX-2 inhibitors, may lead to deterioration of renal function, including the development of acute renal failure.
    • ⓘ The excessive antihypertensive effect of enalapril can be reduced either by discontinuing the diuretic, or by increasing the BCC or using table salt, as well as by reducing the dose of enalapril.
    • ⓘ In some patients with impaired renal function (for example, in elderly patients or patients with dehydration, including those taking diuretics) receiving NSAID therapy (including selective COX‑2 inhibitors), the simultaneous use of ACE inhibitors or ARA II may cause further deterioration of renal function, including the development of acute renal failure, and hyperkalemia.
    • ⓘ The combined use of torasemide with ACE inhibitors or ARA may increase the risk of hypotension and impaired renal function.
  • Negative interactions
    • ⓘ The possibility of hypotensive effects when using enalapril can be minimized by stopping the diuretic or increasing salt intake before starting treatment with enalapril.
    • ⓘ If it is necessary to continue taking a diuretic, careful medical monitoring should be provided after taking the initial dose for at least 2 hours and one additional hour before blood pressure stabilizes.
    • ⓘ The use of potassium-sparing diuretics in high doses can lead to hypovolemia (due to a decrease in BCC), and the addition of enalapril to therapy leads to a marked decrease in blood pressure.
    • ⓘ With the simultaneous use of enalapril with potassium-sparing (thiazide or 'loop') diuretics, hypokalemia caused by the action of diuretics, as a rule.
    • ⓘ Other antihypertensive drugs.
    • ⓘ When using enalapril simultaneously with other antihypertensive agents, especially with diuretics, an increased antihypertensive effect may be observed.
    • ⓘ NSAIDs, including selective COX‑2 inhibitors and acetylsalicylic acid in doses of 3 g/day and above, can reduce the antihypertensive effect of diuretics and other antihypertensive agents.
    • ⓘ Blood pressure should be carefully monitored and, if necessary, the dose of antihypertensive drugs should be adjusted.
  • Positive interactions
    • ⓘ The antihypertensive effect of enalapril is enhanced by drugs that cause the release of renin (for example, diuretics).
  • Unclear interactions
    • ⓘ Diuretics.
    • ⓘ Potassium-sparing (thiazide and 'loop') diuretics.

Decoding the colors of interactions and contraindications

Dangerous	—	a pronounced negative interaction or contraindication.
Negative	—	negative interaction or side effect that may reduce effectiveness.
Positive	—	the interaction can SOMETIMES be used as a positive (often a dose adjustment is needed), or it is an indication of the drug.
No	—	the drugs do NOT interact, which is separately indicated in the instructions.
Unclear	—	the system failed to pre-assess the danger.

Additional information

• Kiberis checks interactions and evaluates drug compatibility for free online right in the instructions thanks to the latest artificial intelligence technologies. The accuracy of finding is more than 95%, the accuracy of the hazard assessment is more than 80%. The online medical service takes into account all the drug groups of the selected drugs and all their components. And since the database contains 25,000 drugs with detailed instructions, not every pharmacologist can compete with our artificial intelligence. List of popular interactions.
