Interaction Details
There were no interactions found between Amiloride and Collagen Peptides. This does not mean the potential for an interaction does not exist, however. There is often a lack of studies and data surrounding traditional medicine, especially concerning drug interactions, so it is important to always consult your provider before making any changes to your medication regimen.
Collagen Peptides Overview
Collagen peptides are a form of collagen, a protein that is found in the connective tissue of animals. Collagen is a major component of the skin, tendons, ligaments, and bones, and it plays a key role in maintaining the strength and integrity of these tissues. Collagen peptides are made by breaking down collagen into smaller pieces, or peptides, which can be more easily absorbed by the body. It is sold as a dietary supplement and often marketed as being able to improve skin health, reduce inflammation, and enhance joint function.
There is some evidence to suggest that collagen peptides may have certain health benefits when taken as a supplement. For example, studies have shown that collagen peptides can improve skin elasticity and reduce the appearance of wrinkles, as well as reduce joint pain and improve mobility in people with osteoarthritis. However, more research is needed to fully understand the potential benefits and risks of taking collagen peptides as a supplement. As a dietary protein, it is thought to be relatively safe to combine with most drugs.
Amiloride Overview
-
Amiloride is usually used in combination with other diuretics ('water pills') to treat high blood pressure and heart failure in patients who have low amounts of potassium in their bodies or for whom low potassium levels in the body could be dangerous. Amiloride is in a class of medications called diuretics. It works by causing the kidneys to get rid of unneeded water and salt from the body into the urine, but reduces the loss of potassium.
-
High blood pressure is a common condition, and when not treated it can cause damage to the brain, heart, blood vessels, kidneys, and other parts of the body. Damage to these organs may cause heart disease, a heart attack, heart failure, stroke, kidney failure, loss of vision, and other problems. In addition to taking medication, making lifestyle changes will also help to control your blood pressure. These changes include eating a diet that is low in fat and salt, maintaining a healthy weight, exercising at least 30 minutes most days, not smoking, and using alcohol in moderation.
