Nonsteroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs
If you have kidney disease or kidney failure, taking both
NSAIDs and
perindopril may add to the damage that your kidneys are already suffering. Also, NSAIDs may decrease the
blood pressure-lowering effects of perindopril. Talk to your healthcare provider about using NSAIDs and perindopril together in your particular situation.
Potassium Supplements
If you are taking a potassium supplement with perindopril, the levels of potassium in your blood may become too high. This can cause serious problems. Talk to your healthcare provider about using potassium and perindopril together in your particular situation.
Potassium-Sparing Diuretics
If you are taking both perindopril and a potassium-sparing diuretic, your body may metabolize these medicines differently than intended and/or increase the levels of potassium in your blood. Your healthcare provider may choose to monitor your progress more closely if this is the case.
Lithium
If you are taking both perindopril 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 serum lithium levels more frequently if this is the case.
Gentomycin
Taking both gentomycin and perindopril together may affect the way your body metabolizes these medicines. If you are taking perindopril and are prescribed gentomycin, let your healthcare provider know. He or she may choose to monitor your situation more closely, consider another antibiotic, and/or adjust your dose of perindopril.
