Cautions
Begin combination therapy only after failed monotherapy
Severe renal impairment, hepatic impairment
Risk of hypotension, especially with CHF
Angioedema of the face, extremities, lips, tongue, glottis, and larynx has been reported in patients treated with angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors
If laryngeal stridor or angioedema of the face, tongue, or glottis occurs discontinue therapy and institute appropriate therapy immediately
Patients receiving coadministration of ACE inhibitor and mTOR (mammalian target of rapamycin) inhibitor (e.g. temsirolimus, sirolimus, everolimus) therapy may be at increased risk for angioedema Intestinal angioedema has been reported in patients treated with ACE inhibitors
Cholestatic jaundice may occur, which may progress to fulminant hepatic necrosis; discontinue if hepatic transaminase or jaundice occurs
Dry hacking nonproductive cough may occur within few months of treatment; consider other causes of cough prior to discontinuation; cough may resolve within 1-4 weeks after discontinuation 0f therapy
Hyperkalemia may occur with ACE inhibitors; risk factors include renal dysfunction, diabetes mellitus, and concomitant use of potassium sparing diuretics and potassium supplements; use cautiously if at all with these agents
Thiazide diuretics may cause hypokalemia, hypochloremic alkalosis, hypomagnesemia, and hyponatremia
Hydrochlorothiazide may precipitate gout in patients with familial predisposition to gout or chronic renal failure
Symptomatic hypotension with or without syncope can occur with ACE inhibitors; mostly observed in volume depleted patients, correct volume depletion prior to initiation; monitor closely when initiating and increasing dosing

Dual blockade of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (ie, ARB plus an ACE inhibitor or aliskiren) in patients with established atherosclerotic disease or heart failure or with diabetes with end organ damage is associated with a higher frequency of hypotension, syncope, hyperkalemia, and changes in renal function (including acute renal failure), as compared with the use of a single renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system agent; limit dual blockade to individually defined cases, with close monitoring of renal function
Neonates with history of in utero exposure: If oliguria or hypotension occurs, support of blood pressure and renal perfusion; exchange transfusions or dialysis may be required
Pregnancy & Lactation
