Drug & Food Interactions of Co-Diovan 80/12.5mg Tablet

Drug Interactions:

• Potassium-sparing diuretics (e.g., spironolactone, amiloride) or potassium supplements — may increase the risk of hyperkalaemia
• NSAIDs (e.g., ibuprofen, naproxen) — may reduce the effectiveness of the medication and increase the risk of kidney problems
• Lithium — Co-Diovan may increase lithium levels in the blood, raising the risk of lithium toxicity
• Other antihypertensive agents — combined use may lead to an additive blood pressure-lowering effect
• Aliskiren or ACE inhibitors — concurrent use increases the risk of kidney impairment, low blood pressure, and electrolyte imbalances
• Corticosteroids — may reduce the diuretic effect of Hydrochlorothiazide
• Insulin and oral antidiabetic drugs — Hydrochlorothiazide may alter blood glucose levels, requiring dose adjustments
• Cholestyramine and colestipol — may reduce the absorption of Hydrochlorothiazide

Food & Lifestyle Interactions:

• High-potassium foods (e.g., bananas, oranges, potatoes, tomatoes) — excessive intake may contribute to elevated potassium levels when combined with Valsartan
• Alcohol — may enhance the blood pressure-lowering effect and increase the risk of dizziness or fainting
• Salt substitutes containing potassium chloride — should be used with caution and only under medical advice
• Liquorice (herbal) — may counteract the antihypertensive effect and worsen potassium loss

💬 Always inform your doctor or pharmacist about all prescription medicines, over-the-counter drugs, herbal supplements, and vitamins you are currently taking.
