Antihypertensive effect may be reduced w/ NSAIDs. Increased serum levels w/ atorvastatin, itraconazole, ketoconazole, verapamil. Significant decrease in furosemide concentrations w/ aliskiren. Increased risk of hyperkalaemia w/ potassium-sparing diuretics, potassium supplements or any substances that may increase serum potassium levels. Potentially Fatal: Increased risk of renal impairment, hypotension and hyperkalaemia w/ ACE inhibitors or angiotensin II receptor antagonists. Markedly increased plasma concentration w/ ciclosporin, itraconazole and quinidine.

Adult Dose

Serious CHF, sodium or volume depletion. Discontinue if diarrhoea is severe and persistent. Lactation. Monitoring Parameters Periodically monitor serum potassium concentration and renal function. Discontinue as soon as possible when pregnancy is detected; affects renin-angiotensin system causing oligohydramnios, which may result in fetal injury and/or death.

Renal Dose

Aliskiren is an orally active, potent, non-peptide and selective direct renin inhibitor used in the management of HTN. By inhibiting the enzyme renin, it prevents conversion of angiotensinogen into angiotensin I and therefore inhibits subsequent production of angiotensin II and aldosterone. Unlike ACE inhibitors and angiotensin II receptor antagonists which cause a compensatory rise in plasma renin activity, treatment w/ aliskiren decreases plasma renin activity and concentrations of angiotensin I, angiotensin II and aldosterone .

Mode of Action

Administration May be taken with or without food. Take consistently w/ or w/o meals. Avoid taking w/ high fat meals.
