title: A review of eprosartan pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic drug interaction studies.
abstract: A series of clinical pharmacology studies was conducted to characterize potential interactions between eprosartan and other commonly prescribed drugs. Separate studies assessed the effect of eprosartan on the pharmacokinetics of digoxin and hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ) and the pharmacodynamics of warfarin and glyburide (glibenclamide), as well as the effects of ranitidine, HCTZ, fluconazole, and ketoconazole on eprosartan pharmacokinetics. Eprosartan had no significant effect on the pharmacokinetics of digoxin and HCTZ and the pharmacodynamics of warfarin and glyburide. Thus, no dosing adjustments are necessary during concomitant therapy with these agents. Ranitidine, HCTZ, ketoconazole, and fluconazole had no effect on eprosartan pharmacokinetics. Single or multiple oral doses of eprosartan were safe and well tolerated when coadministered with these agents.
