Tương tác
Concurrent use with colestipol and cholestyramine may reduce absorption of butizide. Ciclosporin can potentiate the risk of renal toxicity and gout. Efficacy may be reduced by NSAIDs. May enhance toxicity of cardiac glycosides and risk of arrhythmias associated with drugs that prolong QT interval. May increase neuromuscular blocking action of competitive neuromuscular blockers e.g. atracurium. Hypokalaemic effect may be potentiated by corticosteroids, corticotropin, β2 agonists, carbenoxolone, amphotericin B or reboxetine. Concurrent use with lithium may lead to lithium toxicity.
