6. Bactrim: the hyperkalemia induced by Bactrim is via an ENaC inhibitory effect exerted by the trimethoprim moiety. Pentamidine induced hyperkalemia via a similar mechanism. 7. calcineurin inhibitors (e.g, cyclosporine, tacrolimus): it is postulated that these medications inhibit renal tubular responsiveness to aldosterone. 8.

Bactrim, Spironolactone and Lisinopril. Stay Away! A Dangerous Cocktail for Hyperkalemia. Introduction: Hyperkalemia is a potentially life-threatening complication of several medications, particularly in situations of polypharmacy.
The increase in creatinine associated with TMP is mild: 10% and reversible with drug discontinuation. The mechanism of Bactrim induced hyperkalemia is via Trimethoprim inhibition of the sodium channel located on the luminal surface of the principal cells, independent of aldosterone blockade.
In addition to an elevated creatinine, Bactrim is also associated with hyperkalemia. The mechanism is felt to be a decreased aldosterone-
