Kalinor Retard Drug Interactions

Other medicines and Kalinor Retard: Patients should be advised if they are taking/using, have recently taken/used or might take/use any other medicines.
Kalinor Retard should be used with caution in the case of simultaneous treatment with: anticholinergics; potassium-saving diuretics; aldosterone antagonists; ACE inhibitors, angiotensin II receptor blockers; medicines that may be harmful to the kidneys such as specific pain and rheumatism medicines (non-steroidal anti-inflammatories amongst others).
An interaction with the aforementioned medicines, suddenly occurring acidosis, sudden restriction of the kidney function or other conditions may lead to an incidentally occurring increase in the blood potassium concentration above the norm (hyperkalaemia). Hyperkalaemia reduces the effect of cardiac glycosides. In the case of simultaneous treatment with specific blood pressure-reducing medicines (ACE inhibitors, angiotensin II receptor blockers), aldosterone antagonists, potassium-saving diuretics or specific pain and rheumatism medicines (non-steroidal anti-inflammatories and peripheral analgesics), such as indomethacin, a special check on the blood potassium values is indicated, as the stated substances can lead to a reduction in the excretion of potassium via the kidneys and therefore an increase in the blood potassium concentration above the norm. Anticholinergics inhibit intestinal motility and therefore increase the (low) likelihood of side effects in the stomach and intestine in the case of simultaneous use. This information may also apply for medicines used recently.
Kalinor Retard with food, drink and alcohol: No interactions between taking Kalinor Retard and substances, food or drinks are to be expected.
