Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely):\n- Diuretics: may enhance blood pressure lowering. - Beta‑blockers: monitor heart rate and blood pressure. - NSAIDs: may blunt antihypertensive response. - ACE inhibitors or ARBs: watch for renal function changes. - Lipid‑lowering agents (e.g., statins): potential CYP3A4 competition.
