Drug and Food Interactions
Moderate
Lisinopril
+ Food
The following applies to the ingredients: Lisinopril
GENERALLY AVOID: Moderate-to-high dietary intake of potassium can cause hyperkalemia in some patients who are using angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors. In some cases, affected patients were using a potassium-rich salt substitute. ACE inhibitors can promote hyperkalemia through inhibition of the renin-aldosterone-angiotensin (RAA) system.
MANAGEMENT: It is recommended that patients who are taking ACE inhibitors be advised to avoid moderately high or high potassium dietary intake. Particular attention should be paid to the potassium content of salt substitutes.

The following applies to the ingredients: Lisinopril
MONITOR: Many psychotherapeutic and CNS-active agents (e.g., anxiolytics, sedatives, hypnotics, antidepressants, antipsychotics, opioids, alcohol, muscle relaxants) exhibit hypotensive effects, especially during initiation of therapy and dose escalation. Coadministration with antihypertensives and other hypotensive agents, in particular vasodilators and alpha-blockers, may result in additive effects on blood pressure and orthostasis.
MANAGEMENT: Caution and close monitoring for development of hypotension is advised during coadministration of these agents. Some authorities recommend avoiding alcohol in patients receiving vasodilating antihypertensive drugs. Patients should be advised to avoid rising abruptly from a sitting or recumbent position and to notify their physician if they experience dizziness, lightheadedness, syncope, orthostasis, or tachycardia.

Drug and Pregnancy Interactions
Major
Lisinopril
+ Pregnancy
The following applies to the ingredients: Lisinopril
AU: Use is contraindicated.
UK: Use is not recommended during the first trimester and use is contraindicated during the second and third trimesters.
US: This drug should not be used during pregnancy unless there are no alternatives and the benefit outweighs the risk to the fetus.
AU TGA pregnancy category: D
US FDA pregnancy category: Not assigned
Risk Summary: Use of drugs that act on the renin angiotensin system (RAS) during the second and third trimesters of pregnancy increases fetal and neonatal morbidity and death.
Comments:
-Adequate methods of contraception should be encouraged.
-Advise pregnant women and females of reproductive potential of the potential risk to a fetus.
Animal studies have revealed evidence of fetotoxicity. In humans, exposure to angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors during the second and third trimesters has revealed evidence of fetal and neonatal toxicity and fetolethality. There are no controlled data in human pregnancy.
AU TGA pregnancy category D: Drugs which have caused, are suspected to have caused or may be expected to cause, an increased incidence of human fetal malformations or irreversible damage. These drugs may also have adverse pharmacological effects. Accompanying texts should be consulted for further details.
US FDA pregnancy category Not Assigned: The US FDA has amended the pregnancy labeling rule for prescription drug products to require labeling that includes a summary of risk, a discussion of the data supporting that summary, and relevant information to help health care providers make prescribing decisions and counsel women about the use of drugs during pregnancy. Pregnancy categories A, B, C, D, and X are being phased out.

Minor
Vitamin D3
+ Pregnancy
The following applies to the ingredients: Cholecalciferol (found in Vitamin D3)
Use is not recommended unless there is a deficiency.
AU TGA pregnancy category: Exempt
US FDA pregnancy category: Not assigned
Comments:
-Vitamin D supplementation should begin a few months prior to pregnancy.
Animal studies at high doses have shown teratogenicity. There are no controlled data in human pregnancy. Because vitamin D raises calcium levels, it is suspect in the pathogenesis of supravalvular aortic stenosis syndrome, which is often associated with idiopathic hypercalcemia of infancy, but excessive vitamin D intake or retention has not been found consistently in these mothers. A study of 15 patients with maternal hypoparathyroidism, treated with high dose vitamin D during pregnancy (average 107,000 international units per day) to maintain normal calcium levels, produced all normal children. Vitamin D deficiency is associated with reduced fetal growth, neonatal hypocalcemia (with and without convulsions), rickets, and defective tooth enamel.
AU TGA pregnancy category Exempt: Medicines exempted from pregnancy classification are not absolutely safe for use in pregnancy in all circumstances. Some exempted medicines, for example the complementary medicine, St John's Wort, may interact with other medicines and induce unexpected adverse effects in the mother and/or fetus.
US FDA pregnancy category Not Assigned: The US FDA has amended the pregnancy labeling rule for prescription drug products to require labeling that includes a summary of risk, a discussion of the data supporting that summary, and relevant information to help health care providers make prescribing decision and counsel women about the use of drugs during pregnancy. Pregnancy categories A, B, C, D and X are being phased out.

Minor
Vitamin D3
+ Breastfeeding
The following applies to the ingredients: Cholecalciferol (found in Vitamin D3)
Use is not recommended unless the clinical condition of the woman requires treatment.
Excreted into human milk: Yes
Comments:
-Make allowance for any maternal dose if prescribing this product to a breast fed infant.
-Consider monitoring the infant's serum calcium if the mother is receiving pharmacologic doses of vitamin D.
-Vitamin D supplementation is recommended in exclusively breast fed infants.
The required dose of vitamin D during lactation has not been adequately studied; doses similar to those for pregnant women have been suggested.
Chronic ingestion of large doses of vitamin D by the mother may lead to hypercalcemia in the breastfed infant.
