Drug interactions
- diuretics (including loop diuretics) are ineffective in treating calcium channel blocker (CCB)-induced edema[1]
- CCB-induced edema is due to arteriolar vasodilation rather than excess plasma volume
- ACE inhibitors & ARBs can counteract CCB-induced edema
- CCB-induced arteriolar vasodilation causes edema by increasing capillary pressure
- ACE inhibitors or ARBs can lower that increased capillary pressure by decreasing postcapillary resistance[2]
