Abstract
Pharmacotherapy in patients with comorbidity is a current issue for clinical practice. Combination of hypertension and musculoskeletal diseases can be found in 40% of outpatients, which requires simultaneous administration of different drugs. The main mechanisms of drug interactions are associated with pharmacokinetics or pharmacodynamics alterations. It has been proven that changes in drugs pharmacokinetics can be due to cytochromes P450 activity. The main symptom of musculoskeletal diseases is chronic pain, which requires long-term therapy with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). The 2C19 isoenzyme takes part in metabolism of some NSAIDs. Losartan, the inhibitor of renin-angiotensinaldosterone system (RAAS), is also metabolized by the 2C9 isoenzyme and is quite often prescribed to outpatients to treat hypertension. Hence, an influence of genetic factors on efficacy and safety of antihypertensive drugs and NSAIDs combinations requires further studies.
