BYDUREON BCISE Lifestyle Interactions

  • Eplerenone 25mg, Oral tablet

    Interaction: Grapefruit juice
    Severity: Severe
    Notes for Consumers: Do not take these drugs together. Discuss possible alternative treatment options with your prescriber. Taking these drugs together can increase the amount of Eplerenone in your blood and may cause your blood pressure to be too low or increase the amount of potassium in your blood. When there is too much potassium in the blood it can cause muscle weakness or an abnormal heart rhythm.
    Notes for Professionals: Concomitant use of grapefruit or grapefruit juice and eplerenone is contraindicated. Grapefruit potently inhibits the hepatic CYP3A4 isoenzyme and may increase serum eplerenone concentrations by about 25% and, hence, can increase the risk of developing eplerenone-induced hyperkalemia and hypotension.
