Drugs to treat myocarditis
Diuretic Therapy
–>excessive reduction of blood pressure after initiation of therapy
Antidiabetics:
- ACE inhibitors and antidiabetic medicines (insulins, oral hypoglycemic agents)–> increased blood-glucose-lowering; risk of hypoglycemia.
Non-steroidal Anti-inflammatory Agents:
- co-administration of lisinopril worsen compromised renal function.
