Precautions
Angioedema of the face, extremities, lips, tongue, glottis, or larynx has been reported in patients treated with 44 ACE inhibitors, including Aceon. Angioedema associated with involvement of the tongue, glottis or larynx may be fatal. In such cases, discontinue Aceon treatment immediately and observe until the swelling disappears.
Aceon can cause symptomatic hypotension. Symptomatic hypotension is most likely to occur in patients who have been volume or salt-depleted as a result of prolonged diuretic 57 therapy, dietary salt restriction, dialysis, diarrhea or vomiting.
As a consequence of inhibiting the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system, changes in renal function may be anticipated in susceptible 91 individuals. Renal function should be monitored periodically in patients receiving Aceon. Some Aceon-treated patients have developed minor and transient increases in blood urea nitrogen and serum creatinine especially in 99 those concomitantly treated with a diuretic.

Some of the common drug interactions with Aceon:
- Diuretics
