Increased risk of low renal function due to serum K increase with NSAIDs. Increased risk of angioedema with neprilysin inhibitor and mammalian target of rapamycin inhibitor (e.g. temsirolimus, everolimus).Potentially Fatal: Increased risk of hypotension, hyperkalaemia and impaired renal function with aliskiren.
