Valturna Drug Interactions Explained
The following sections explain in detail the potentially negative interactions that can occur when
Valturna is combined with any of the drugs listed above.
ACE Inhibitors
Combining Valturna with an ACE inhibitor may increase your risk of high blood potassium (hyperkalemia), a dangerous problem. If you take these medications together, your healthcare provider should monitor your potassium levels.
Amiloride Products (Midamor, Moduretic)
Taking Valturna with
amiloride may increase your risk of high blood potassium (hyperkalemia), a dangerous problem. If you take both of these medications, your healthcare provider should monitor your potassium levels.
Angiotensin II Receptor Blockers (ARBs)
Combining Valturna with an ARB may increase your risk of high blood potassium (hyperkalemia), a dangerous problem. If you take these medications together, your healthcare provider should monitor your potassium levels.
Atorvastatin Products (Lipitor, Caduet)
Atorvastatin can increase the level of Valturna in the blood by as much as 50 percent. This could increase your risk of
Valturna side effects. Your healthcare provider may need to adjust your
Valturna dosage if you start (or stop) taking atorvastatin, although this may not be necessary in many cases.
Furosemide (Lasix)
Valturna can decrease your blood levels of
furosemide, possibly making furosemide less effective. Your healthcare provider may need to adjust your furosemide dosage if you start (or stop) taking Valturna.
