What Drugs, Vitamins Or Supplements Does Mavik Interact With. I've

What drugs, vitamins or supplements does Mavik interact with. I've been prescribed 2mg red caps. And am on 25mg hydrochlorothiazde for high blood pressure. 72 yr old female with severe RA and advanced emphysema having never smoked or allowed myself to be in company of smokers except in the days when even teachers were allowed to smoke in class. Elevators, stores, workplace and you name it. Thanks. I take vitamins and fish oil caps, evening primrose, symbicort, spiriva, ventolin, Premarin, eltroxin, naproxen, methotrexate, folic acid 5mg twice weekly, vit D, E, vision supplement, flax seed oil cap, I really do not this drug because of existing medical conditions. ACE inhibitors may increase potassium levels. If combined with potassium sparing diuretics situation could be life threatening. Elderly people are at highest risk. My Dr rec Mavik and I have taken on two days but I do not really want it at all as Dr knows. One pill means another down the road. I do not and have never taken aspirin or such others. I cannot take prednisone for my RA . Manikins going to worsen the RA symptoms and emphysema. I live alone without any help and this is pretty well impossible for me. My Dr of 25 yrs still sees me as the person of 25 yrs ago. And he knows I cannot stand melds except the necessRy. Eg thyroid. Premarin etc. symbicort and spiriva also are not good for hbp and for all I know caused it. I always had low bp. Weigh 125 , 5'4" . I have never used salt on table or cooking. Do not eat junk or soft drinks. What gives!? I am sedentary now due to the severe RA and emphysema. I feel like stopping symbicort and some others. I believe money is the bottom line and that the pharmacies need us on drugs and I believe I am being under treated for my cold emphysema. No use telling the Dr. He just poo poos the idea!
