A person should not take ARBs with ACE inhibitors or dopamine receptor inhibitors because they may increase the risk of:
• high potassium
• low blood pressure
• acute kidney failure
Additionally, they can intensify the potassium-increasing effects of the following:
• potassium-sparing diuretics, drugs that increase urination without the loss of potassium, such as amiloride (Midamor)
• potassium supplements
• nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, such as ibuprofen (Motrin)
