Concurrent use increases risk of blood dyscrasias with azathioprine, methotrexate, pyrimethamine; increased risk of hyperkalaemia with ACE inhibitors; increased risk of hyponatraemia when used with both potassium-sparing diuretics and thiazides; increases risk of bleeding with warfarin; increases risk of lithium toxicity; increases digoxin, phenytoin, procainamide, lamivudine, stavudine, repaglinide, rosiglitazone, dofetilide serum levels; decreases ciclosporin levels. Concurrent use with dapsone increases serum levels of both and increases risk of dapsone toxicity. Concurrent may potentiate antidiabetic effect of sulphonylureas. |
