Angiotensin receptor blockers and drug-drug interactions.
The pharmacokinetic characteristics of the angiotensin receptor blocker class are such that significant drug-drug interactions are unlikely. Moreover, this drug class is devoid of relevant class-specific side effects. These features provide some of the basis for the excellent tolerance of drugs in this class.
