Drug A

Eprosartan

Angiotensin II Receptor Blocker (ARB)

Drug B

Aliskiren

Direct Renin Inhibitor

How They Interact

Both drugs work on the same system to lower blood pressure, which can cause blood pressure to drop too low or harm the kidneys.

FDA Label Information

Drug Interactions Dual Blockade of the Renin-Angiotensin System (RAS) Dual blockade of the RAS with angiotensin receptor blockers, ACE inhibitors, or aliskiren is associated with increased risks of hypotension, hyperkalemia, and changes in renal function (including acute renal failure) compared to monotherapy. Do not co-administer aliskiren with eprosartan in patients with diabetes. Avoid use of aliskiren with eprosartan in patients with renal impairment (GFR < 60 mL/min).
