壹、降壓藥aliskiren 新增警訊及禁忌症
依據一項臨床試驗(Aliskiren Trial in Type 2 Diabetes Using Cardio-Renal Endpoints, ALTITUDE)的結果顯示,美國FDA 呼籲醫療專業人員,避免將aliskiren 與血管收縮素酶抑
制劑(angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors, ACEIs)、血管收縮素受體拮抗劑(angiotensin receptor blockers, ARBs)類藥物,併用於糖尿病患者、中度至重度腎功能不全(GFR < 60 mL/min)患者身上,因為可能增加腎損傷、低血壓、高血鉀的風險。
正在服用aliskiren 藥品的病人,不應擅自停藥。若有疑慮,應該諮詢醫療專業人員做進一步處置。1
