Potassium-Sparing Diuretics
If you are taking
Lotrel and a potassium-sparing diuretic, your
blood pressure may decrease too much and/or the levels of potassium in your blood may become too high. Your healthcare provider may choose to monitor your progress closely.
Simvastatin
Lotrel 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.
It is possible that not every drug interaction with Lotrel was discussed in this article. Therefore, you should talk with your pharmacist or healthcare provider about the specific drug interactions that may apply to you.
