Midamor Interactions Explained

The following sections explain in detail the potentially negative interactions that can occur when Midamor is combined with any of the drugs listed above.
 
ACE Inhibitors
Combining Midamor with ACE inhibitors can increase your risk of high potassium levels in your blood (hyperkalemia). Your healthcare provider should check your potassium levels regularly during treatment.
 
Angiotensin II Receptor Blockers
Taking Midamor with ARBs can increase your risk of high potassium levels in your blood (hyperkalemia). Your healthcare provider should check your potassium levels regularly during treatment.
 
Cyclosporine
Combining Midamor with cyclosporine can increase your risk of high potassium levels in your blood (hyperkalemia). Your healthcare provider should check your potassium levels regularly while you are taking it.
 
Digoxin
Midamor should be used with caution in people taking digoxin. It can cause high potassium levels (hyperkalemia), which can be especially dangerous for people taking digoxin.
 
Lithium
Taking Midamor with lithium may increase the level of lithium in your blood, potentially increasing your chance of side effects. In general, lithium is usually not recommended for people taking diuretics, including Midamor. Depending on your particular situation, your healthcare provider may need to monitor your lithium level more closely and/or change your lithium dose.
 
Nonsteroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs
Combining Midamor with NSAIDs can make Midamor less effective and may increase your risk of side effects. Your healthcare provider may need to increase your dose of Midamor or may suggest an alternative to NSAIDs to prevent this interaction from occurring.
