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