Interactions between diabetic and hypertensive drugs: a pharmacogenetics approach.

Diabetes is known to increase susceptibility to hypertension due to increase in inflammation, oxidative stress, and endothelial dysfunction, leading to vascular stiffness. The polytherapy might lead to several drug-drug interactions (DDIs), which cause certain life-threatening complications such as diabetic nephropathy and hypoglycaemia. So, in this review we focused on drug-drug interactions and impact of genetic factors on drug responses for better disease management.
