¿Puedo tomar Nustendi y Ramipril juntos?

Por qué sucede esto

Nustendi contiene dos medicamentos: ácido bempedoico y ezetimiba. El ácido bempedoico a veces puede aumentar los niveles de ácido úrico y afectar la función renal. El ramipril (un inhibidor de la ECA) también afecta cómo los riñones filtran la sangre y cómo el cuerpo maneja el potasio. Cuando se usan juntos, estos efectos pueden combinarse, potencialmente ejerciendo una presión adicional sobre los riñones.

Puedes tomar estos medicamentos juntos, pero tu médico debe monitorear la función de tus riñones y los niveles de potasio mediante análisis de sangre regulares. Contacta a tu médico si experimentas síntomas de potasio alto (como debilidad muscular o palpitaciones cardíacas) o signos de problemas renales (como cambios en la frecuencia de la micción o hinchazón en los tobillos).

Embarazo

You must not take Ramipril if you are pregnant. It can cause serious harm or death to an unborn baby, particularly if taken during the second and third trimesters. Use effective contraception while taking this medicine.

Gota

Nustendi can increase the levels of uric acid in your blood, which may cause gout or trigger a gout flare-up. Contact your doctor if you experience sudden joint pain, swelling, or redness.

Tendon Rupture

Nustendi carries a risk of tendon inflammation or rupture. Seek immediate medical attention if you experience pain, swelling, or inflammation in any tendon (such as the Achilles tendon in the heel).

Angioedema (Severe Swelling)

Ramipril can cause a life-threatening allergic reaction called angioedema. Seek emergency help immediately if you experience swelling of the face, lips, tongue, or throat, or if you have difficulty breathing.

Alcohol

It is best to avoid or strictly limit alcohol while taking ramipril. Alcohol can increase the blood pressure-lowering effect of ramipril, which may make you feel dizzy, lightheaded, or faint, especially when you first start the medicine or move to a higher dose.

It is best to avoid or strictly limit alcohol while taking Nustendi. Both this medication and alcohol can affect your liver; combining them increases the risk of liver damage. If you have a history of liver disease or heavy drinking, you must discuss this with your doctor.

Salt Substitutes (Potassium-based)

Avoid using salt substitutes that contain potassium (such as Lo-Salt). Ramipril can increase the levels of potassium in your blood. Using these substitutes alongside ramipril can lead to dangerously high potassium levels (hyperkalaemia), which can affect your heart rhythm.

Jugo de toronja

While Nustendi itself does not interact with grapefruit, it is often prescribed alongside statins (like simvastatin or atorvastatin). If you are taking a statin as well, you should avoid drinking large amounts of grapefruit juice as it can increase the level of the statin in your blood and increase the risk of side effects.
