Patients who are prescribed a diuretic and a renin-angiotensin system inhibitor to control their hypertension, should avoid taking ibuprofen
Researchers at the University of Waterloo looked at the interactions of diuretics, RSA, and ibuprofen using computer-simulated drug trials. The investigators found that in some patients with certain medical profiles, the combination of the three medications could cause kidney damage, which in some cases can be permanent, according to a news release.
"Diuretics are a family of drugs that make the body hold less water," Anita Layton, professor of applied mathematics at Waterloo and Canada 150 Research Chair in mathematical biology and medicine said in the release.
