Aliskiren Pharmacology Podcast




Real Life Pharmacology - Pharmacology Education for Health Care Professionals show

Summary: On this episode, I discuss aliskiren pharmacology, adverse effects, drug interactions, and much more. <br> <br> <br> <br> Aliskiren should not be used with ACE Inhibitors or ARBs. I discuss why that is in this episode. <br> <br> <br> <br> Aliskiren has a long enough half-life at approximately 24 hours so it is recommended to only take this once daily. <br> <br> <br> <br> Hyperkalemia is a major concern with aliskiren. It is important to monitor potassium levels and renal function.
