Mechanism
Some, but not all the evidence suggests that prostaglandins may be involved
in the hypotensive action of ACE inhibitors, and that aspirin, by inhibiting
prostaglandin synthesis, may partially antagonise the effect of
ACE inhibitors on blood pressure. This effect appears to depend on the dose of aspirin and may
also be dependent on sodium status and plasma
renin, and therefore it does not occur in all patients.
The beneficial effects of ACE inhibitors in heart failure and ischaemic
heart disease are thought to be due, in part, to the inhibition of the breakdown
of kinins, which are important regulators of prostaglandin and nitric
oxide synthesis. Such inhibition promotes vasodilatation and afterload reduction.
Aspirin may block these beneficial effects by inhibiting cyclo-oxygenase
(COX) and thus prostaglandin synthesis, causing
vasoconstriction, decreased cardiac output and worsening heart failure.
Mechanism
Some, but not all the evidence suggests that prostaglandins may be involved
in the hypotensive action of ACE inhibitors, and that NSAIDs, by
inhibiting prostaglandin synthesis, may partially antagonise the effect of
ACE inhibitors. Another suggestion is that NSAIDs promote sodium retention
and so blunt the blood pressure lowering effects of several classes
of antihypertensive drugs, including ACE inhibitors. This interaction may
be dependent on sodium status and on plasma renin, and so drugs that affect
sodium status e.g. diuretics may possibly influence the effect. Therefore,
the interaction does not occur in all patients. It may also depend on
the NSAID, with indometacin being frequently implicated, and sulindac
less so, as well as on the dosing frequency.6
Both NSAIDs and ACE inhibitors alone can cause renal impairment. In
patients whose kidneys are underperfused, they may cause further deterioration
in renal function when used together.51 Impaired renal function is
a risk factor for hyperkalaemia with ACE inhibitors.

(h) Nifedipine
Cimetidine 1 g daily for a week increased the AUC of nifedipine 40 mg
daily by about 60% and increased the maximum plasma levels by about
90%. Ranitidine 150 mg twice daily for a week caused an insignificant
rise of about 25% in maximum nifedipine plasma levels and AUC.10 Seven
hypertensive patients had a fall in mean blood pressure from 127 to
109 mmHg after taking nifedipine 40 mg daily for 4 weeks, and a further
fall to 95 mmHg after they also took cimetidine 1 g daily for 3 weeks.
When they took ranitidine 300 mg instead of cimetidine, there was an insignificant
fall in blood pressure.10,11
Other studies clearly confirm that cimetidine causes a very significant
rise in plasma nifedipine levels and an increase in its effects, whereas ranitidine
interacts only minimally.12-18
A study found no pharmacokinetic interaction between nifedipine and
famotidine, but the famotidine reversed the effects of nifedipine on
systolic time intervals and significantly reduced the stroke volume and
cardiac output.19,20 No adverse interaction was seen in 22 patients given
calcium-channel blockers, including nifedipine, with famotidine for 6 to
8 weeks.8
Mechanism
It is believed that cimetidine increases nifedipine levels by inhibiting its
oxidative metabolism by the liver. Like ranitidine, it may also increase the
bioavailability of nifedipine by lowering gastric acidity.14 The mechanisms
of the other interactions are probably similar.
Nifedipin
Mekanisme kerja nifedipin adalah menghambat masuknya ion Ca2+ sehingga menghambat
terjadinya kontraksi otot polos jantung dan otot polos vaskuler. Nifedipin akan menimbulkan
vasodilatasi pada otot polos pembuluh darah sehingga terjadi penurunan tekanan darah.
