Accuretic Drug Interactions

When other blood pressure medicines, alcohol, or insulin are taken together with Accuretic, drug interactions may potentially develop. Interactions may cause your body to metabolize the medicines differently than intended or result in side effects such as extremely low blood pressure, electrolyte imbalances, or high blood sugar levels. Other medications that may cause Accuretic drug interactions include barbiturates, diuretics, and oral diabetes medicines.
