Patient was educated on contraindications for using Lotensin as follows:

  1. Liver disease
  • Lotensin is a drug that is mainly metabolized in the liver. If liver function is deficient, the metabolism of Lotensin can suffer and so, does the function too.
  1. Renal disease
  • Lotensin is mainly eliminated by the kidneys. Individuals with renal disease and diminished renal function cannot eliminate Lotensin normally.
  • So, Lotensin can be toxic in individuals with renal disease.
