In cases of hyperkalemia, the use of potassium-sparing diuretics is contraindicated as they can further elevate potassium levels. Additionally, certain medications such as ACE inhibitors and angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs) may also be contraindicated due to their potential to increase potassium retention. It is crucial to avoid any treatments that could exacerbate hyperkalemia while managing the condition.
ACE inhibitors also may be used to treat congestive heart failure
ACE-inhibitors cause an increase in bradykinin, this can cause a dry cough in some patients.
morphine, demerol
They are also called Angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors
They also called ACE inhibitors
ace inhibitors
Ace inhibitors or angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors block an enzyme which narrows blood vessels and and reduces blood pressure. Some are combined with a diuretic. Benazepril, captrolil, and enalpril are some of the generics.
cough
i think its the Lotensin
ACE inhibitors make blood vessels relax, which helps lower blood pressure and allows more oxygen-rich blood to reach the heart
Dry cough
