Lithium (Eskalith, Lithane, Lithonate, Lithotabs)
If you are taking both
Hyzaar and
lithium, your body may metabolize the drugs differently than intended and increase the lithium levels in the blood. Your healthcare provider may choose to monitor your blood lithium levels more frequently.
Nonsteroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs)
If you have kidney disease or kidney failure, taking both
NSAIDs and Hyzaar may add to the damage that your kidneys are already suffering. Also, NSAIDs may decrease the
blood pressure-lowering effects of Hyzaar. For your particular situation, talk to your healthcare provider about using NSAIDs and Hyzaar together.
Fluconazole (Diflucan)
If you are taking
fluconazole and Hyzaar together, your body may metabolize Hyzaar differently than intended. This can cause an increased level of Hyzaar in your body. When using these medicines together, your healthcare provider may choose to monitor you more closely and/or adjust your Hyzaar dose as needed.
Insulin
Taking
insulin with Hyzaar may cause high blood sugar (hyperglycemia). For your particular situation, your healthcare provider may monitor you more closely and/or adjust your dose of insulin as needed.
Oral Diabetes Medication
Taking an oral
diabetes medication with Hyzaar may increase blood sugar levels. For your particular situation, your healthcare provider may monitor you more closely and/or adjust your dose of
diabetes medications as needed.
Other Blood Pressure Medicine
When taking Hyzaar with another
high blood pressure medication, your blood pressure may decrease too much. In order to decrease the chances of this Hyzaar interaction, your healthcare provider may monitor you more closely and/or change the dose of either medicine.
