AZOR Drug Interactions

Potassium
AZOR may potentially increase your potassium level. If you are taking potassium (to treat low potassium levels), your potassium dose may need to be lowered, or you may need to stop taking potassium altogether. Check with your healthcare provider before combining AZOR with any potassium product.
 
Simvastatin
AZOR increases the level of simvastatin in the blood, increasing the risk of serious side effects of simvastatin. If these medications are combined, the simvastatin dosage should not exceed 20 mg per day.
  
Spironolactone (Aldactone) or Spironolactone-HCTZ (Aldactazide)
Combining AZOR with spironolactone products could increase your risk of high blood potassium. If your healthcare provider recommends taking these two medications together, your blood potassium levels should be closely monitored.
 
Triamterene (Dyrenium) or Triamterene-HCTZ (Dyazide, Maxzide)
Taking AZOR with triamterene products could increase your risk of high blood potassium. If your healthcare provider recommends taking these two medications together, your blood potassium levels should be closely monitored.
