Relevance: 17.11.2023 Reviewer: Shkutko P.M., M.D., in

In the database of official manuals used in the service creation an interaction registered by statistical results of studies was found, which can either lead to negative consequences for the patient health or strengthen a mutual positive effect. A doctor should be consulted to address the issue of joint drug administration.

Consumer:

Talk to your doctor before using spironolactone together with parenteral nutrition solution w/electrolytes. Combining these medications may significantly increase potassium levels in the blood. High levels of potassium can develop into a condition known as hyperkalemia, which in severe cases can lead to kidney failure, muscle paralysis, irregular heart rhythm, and cardiac arrest. You may be more likely to develop hyperkalemia while using these medications if you are elderly, dehydrated, or have kidney disease, diabetes, or advanced heart failure. Regular or long-term use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs such as ibuprofen or naproxen (Aleve) may also increase your risk. It is important that you maintain adequate fluid intake during treatment with these medications. In addition, talk to your doctor to see if you should limit consumption of potassium-rich foods such as tomatoes, raisins, figs, potatoes, lima beans, bananas, plantains, papayas, pears, cantaloupes, mangoes, and potassium-containing salt substitutes. You may need a dose adjustment or more frequent monitoring by your doctor to safely use both medications. You should seek medical attention if you experience nausea, vomiting, weakness, confusion, tingling of the hands and feet, feelings of heaviness in the legs, a weak pulse, or a slow or irregular heartbeat, as these may be symptoms of hyperkalemia. It is important to tell your doctor about all other medications you use, including vitamins and herbs. Do not stop using any medications without first talking to your doctor.

Professional:

GENERALLY AVOID: The concomitant use of potassium-sparing diuretics and potassium preparations may result in hyperkalemia. Death has been reported.

MANAGEMENT: The use of potassium preparations in patients treated with potassium-sparing diuretics is generally not recommended. Caution is advised if coadministration is required, particularly in patients with renal impairment, diabetes, old age, worsening heart failure, and/or a risk for dehydration. Serum potassium and renal function should be checked regularly, and oral potassium supplementation should be avoided in patients with severe congestive heart failure who have serum potassium levels above 3.5 mEq/L. Patients should be advised to seek medical attention if they experience signs and symptoms of hyperkalemia such as weakness, listlessness, confusion, tingling of the extremities, and irregular heartbeat.
