Norepinephrine
Norepinephrine is a medicine that is used to treat very low
blood pressure.
Benicar HCT may affect the ability of norepinephrine to raise blood pressure if the drugs are taken together.
Corticotropin
Taking corticotropin with
Benicar HCT may cause an electrolyte imbalance, especially with the levels of potassium in the blood. If you are taking corticotropin and Benicar HCT, your healthcare provider may monitor you more closely and/or adjust your dose as needed.
Muscle Relaxants
If you are taking both Benicar HCT and a muscle relaxant, your body may metabolize the drugs differently than intended and increase the levels of muscle relaxant in the blood. In order to decrease the chances of this drug interaction, your healthcare provider may monitor you more closely and/or change the muscle relaxant dose.
Nonsteroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs)
Benicar HCT can interact with
NSAIDs in several ways. The combination could cause your blood pressure to increase or may cause swelling (edema), especially if you have
congestive heart failure (CHF). If you are elderly, have kidney disease or kidney failure, or are dehydrated, taking NSAIDs and Benicar HCT together may cause kidney failure. Talk to your healthcare provider about this potential drug interaction before taking these medications together.
