Dyrenium Drug Interactions

When medicines such as lithium, ACE inhibitors, or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs are taken with Dyrenium, drug interactions may occur. These interactions can increase your risk of developing high potassium levels in your blood and decrease the effectiveness of Dyrenium. Make sure to tell your healthcare provider about all other medicines you are taking to help avoid Dyrenium drug interactions, including vitamins and non-prescription drugs.
