Drug interactions to be noted: Potassium wasting diuretics, Spironolactone, Eplerenone, Amiloride, and Triamterene should be discontinued at least for 4 weeks; Adrenergic blockers, Clonidine, Methyldopa, NSAIDs, Angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors, Angiotensin receptor blockers, Renin inhibitors, and Dihydropyridine calcium channel antagonists should be discontinued for 2 weeks. If necessary to maintain hypertension control, patients should be treated with other antihypertensive medications like Verapamil slow-release, Hydralazine, Prazosin, Doxazosin & Terazosin that have lesser effects on Plasma renin & aldosterone levels. Any change in medication should be done in consultation with the treating physician. | ||||||
