Can I take Lisinopril and Ibuprofen together?

لماذا يحدث هذا

Lisinopril works by relaxing blood vessels and helping the kidneys remove salt and water. Ibuprofen (an NSAID) blocks certain chemicals called prostaglandins. These chemicals are needed to keep the blood vessels in the kidneys open. When ibuprofen blocks them, it reduces blood flow to the kidneys and causes the body to retain salt and water, which opposes the blood-pressure-lowering effect of lisinopril.

You should avoid taking ibuprofen regularly while on lisinopril. If you need pain relief, paracetamol is generally a safer choice. If you must take ibuprofen, use the lowest dose for the shortest time possible. Contact your doctor immediately if you notice decreased urination, swelling in your ankles or feet, or unusual tiredness. Your doctor may want to monitor your kidney function and blood pressure more closely.

قرحة المعدة أو النزيف

تجنب تناول الإيبوبروفين إذا كنت قد عانيت من قبل من قرحة في المعدة أو ثقب أو نزيف، حيث يمكن أن يسبب ضررًا خطيرًا لبطانة المعدة.

الحمل

Lisinopril must not be taken during pregnancy as it can cause serious damage to the developing baby, particularly affecting their kidneys.

الحمل (الثلاثة أشهر الأخيرة)

لا تتناولي الإيبوبروفين إذا كنتِ حاملًا لأكثر من 6 أشهر، لأنه يمكن أن يسبب مشاكل خطيرة في القلب والكلى للجنين ومضاعفات أثناء الولادة.

الربو

Do not take ibuprofen if you have asthma that is worsened by aspirin or other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), as it can trigger a severe or life-threatening asthma attack.

Kidney function

Taking lisinopril and ibuprofen together significantly increases the risk of sudden kidney failure. This risk is even higher if you are also taking a diuretic (water tablet). Avoid using ibuprofen while on lisinopril unless specifically directed by your doctor.

Angioedema (Severe Swelling) - lisinopril

Seek emergency medical help immediately if you experience swelling of the face, lips, tongue, or throat, or difficulty breathing. This is a rare but life-threatening allergic reaction called angioedema.

الأطعمة الغنية بالبوتاسيوم وبدائل الملح

Lisinopril can increase the levels of potassium in your blood. Avoid using salt substitutes containing potassium (such as Lo-Salt) and speak to your doctor before significantly increasing your intake of high-potassium foods like bananas, spinach, or pulses. High potassium levels can cause heart palpitations.

الكحول

It is best to avoid or strictly limit alcohol while taking these medicines. For ibuprofen, alcohol increases the risk of stomach irritation and bleeding. For lisinopril, alcohol can enhance the blood-pressure-lowering effect, which may make you feel dizzy, lightheaded, or faint.

الطعام (عام)

While not an interaction that changes how the drug works, you should always take ibuprofen with food or a glass of milk. This helps to protect your stomach lining and reduce the risk of indigestion or stomach ache.
