The influence of prostaglandin inhibition by indomethacin on blood pressure and renal function in hypertensive patients treated with cilazapril.

Abstract: 1 In a placebo-controlled double-blind cross-over study lasting 6 weeks, twenty patients with essential hypertension were treated with placebo for 2 weeks followed by oral cilazapril 2.5 mg once a day or oral indomethacin 50 mg twice daily for 2 weeks. Afterwards they received the combination of both drugs for a further 2 weeks. 2 Cilazapril significantly lowered systolic and diastolic blood pressure for a period of 24 h post administration. 3 Indomethacin significantly attenuated the antihypertensive activity… Show more

“…However, the degree of attenuation was dependent on the sequence of drug administration, since it was more pronounced in patients who initially received indomethacin and then a combination of both drugs than in patients receiving the drugs in the opposite order. The investigators postulated that the effects of indomethacin may result from a reduction in plasma renin activity, prostaglandin synthesis or sodium excretion (Kirch et al 1989). Similar results of pharmacodynamic interactions with captopril or enalapril and indomethacin have been reported as occurring in healthy volunteers (Koopmans et ill. 1989).…”

“…The investigators noted that this interaction may have clinical relevance in patients not only with nephrotic kidney but also with heart failure or hypertension. Kirch et al (1989) investigated the influence of indomethacin 100mg on the antihypertensive efficacy of cilazapril 2.5mg in a placebo-controlled crossover study including 20 patients with essential hypertension in which each drug was administered for 2 weeks alone before the combination. During combined therapy, a significant attenuation of the blood pressure-lowering activity of cilazapril occurred.…”

“…In addition to prostaglandin inhibition, alterations of the renin-aldosterone-angiotensin system caused by the NSAIDs are involved in this interaction [3,4]. Oxaprozin only slightly decreases parameters of renal function, probably due to inhibition of cyclooxygenase activity [6,7].…”

“…Nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) like indomethacin are prostaglandin inhibitors, are known to attenuate the antihypertensive effect of diuretics, beta blockers or ACE inhibitors [1][2][3][4]. In addition to prostaglandin inhibition, alterations of the renin-aldosterone-angiotensin system caused by the NSAIDs are involved in this interaction [3,4].…”
