Dolomite and Amiloride

Here is the interaction we found between these two, with the evidence behind it.

Moderate

POTASSIUM-SPARING DIURETICS

Why this applies to Amiloride

Amiloride falls under POTASSIUM-SPARING DIURETICS — the group Dolomite interacts with.

Theoretically, serum magnesium levels might increase when dolomite is taken with potassium-sparing diuretics.
Potassium-sparing diuretics also have magnesium-sparing properties, which can counteract the magnesium losses associated with loop and thiazide diuretics. Dolomite contains magnesium, which may increase the risk for hypermagnesemia.
Severity Moderate Likelihood Probable Evidence D

Interaction has not been documented in well-controlled studies, however, the interaction has been demonstrated in some small human studies or in controlled animal studies in conjunction with multiple case reports..

Dr. Brian Staiger, PharmD, BCPS
Dr. Brian Staiger explains PharmD, Clinical Pharmacist

Here's the thing about amiloride: it's a potassium-sparing water pill, and besides holding onto potassium, it also tends to hold onto magnesium. Now, dolomite adds extra magnesium into the mix. Put the two together and, at least on paper, your magnesium levels could creep higher than they should (a condition called hypermagnesemia).

I'll be honest, this concern is based on how these things work rather than lots of real-world cases, so it's more theoretical than proven. Still, if magnesium climbs too high, people can feel unusually tired, weak, flushed, or notice a slow heartbeat. On top of that, dolomite may carry traces of lead and other heavy metals, so a cleaner calcium or magnesium product is usually the smarter pick. Please check with your pharmacist or doctor before pairing them.

From our pharmacist’s overview on the Amiloride page

“Amiloride (Midamor) is a water pill that lowers blood pressure while holding onto potassium, and both of those jobs give supplements openings to cause trouble, so I would read this list with real care. Four of the 143 ingredients on file carry a major rating, including tyramine and American mistletoe, which can push blood pressure up a…”

About Dolomite

What is Dolomite?

Dolomite
  • Source of calcium
  • Source of magnesium
  • Bone health support
  • Antacid for heartburn
  • Mineral supplementation

Dolomite is a natural mineral that provides both calcium and magnesium. However, many health authorities advise against using it because dolomite products have been found to contain heavy metals like lead, arsenic, and mercury, and safer, better-tested calcium and magnesium supplements are widely available.

About Amiloride

What Is Amiloride Used For?

Brand names: Midamor, Amilamont

Amiloride is used as an add-on treatment with thiazide or other potassium-losing diuretics in people with congestive heart failure or high blood pressure (hypertension).

Its job is to help bring potassium back to normal if the other diuretic has made it too low (hypokalemia). It is also used to prevent low potassium in people at special risk, such as those taking digitalis heart medicine or those with significant heart rhythm problems.
