Olmesartan medoxil/hydrochlorothiazide may interact with several drug classes.

Major Interactions (Avoid): - Dual renin‑angiotensin system blockade: concurrent use with ACE inhibitors or other ARBs increases risk of kidney injury and hyperkalemia. - Potassium‑rich supplements: may cause dangerous hyper‑kalemia. - Lithium: increased lithium levels and toxicity risk.

Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely): - Non‑steroidal anti‑inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs): may blunt antihypertensive effect and affect renal function. - Loop diuretics: additive diuretic effect may cause volume depletion. - Antidiabetic agents: may enhance glucose‑lowering effect, requiring dose adjustment.
