In general, anti-histamines do not cause kidney problems. Some, such as diphenhydramine (Benadryl) can cause retention of urine in your bladder. Others such as Claritin and Zyrtec are generally very safe.

The use of diuretic agents in patients with impaired renal function carries distinct risks of plasma volume depletion or hypotension and further diminution of glomerular filtration. Existing electrolyte and acid-base disorders are easily aggravated.

Ordinary doses of Benadryl can also cause urinary retention, dizziness, trouble with coordination, dry mouth, blurry vision, and constipation. Especially in older individuals, diphenhydramine can cause delirium and contribute to long term dementia. In an overdose, Benadryl becomes very dangerous.

Tramadol immediate-release tablet: If you have kidney problems or a history of kidney disease, you may not be able to clear this drug from your body well. This may increase the levels of tramadol in your body and cause more side effects.

Benadryl could be why your boys aren't swimming like they used to, a growing body of research reveals. Allergy medications like Benadryl may cause problems with sperm production and male fertility, according to a recent literature review involving studies on rats, mice, bulls, and (believe it or not) some humans.

Combining fosinopril or other ACE inhibitors with nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) in patients who are elderly, volume-depleted (including those on diuretic therapy), or with poor kidney function may result in reduced kidney function, including kidney failure. These effects usually are reversible.

They lower the amount of acid in your stomach, but studies have shown that taking them for a long time can raise your chances of serious kidney problems and possibly lead to kidney failure. Other heartburn medicines called H2 blockers (Pepcid, Tagamet, Zantac) are less likely to cause these issues.

ACE inhibitor use may be linked to kidney failure. "Blood pressure drugs… could raise the risk of potentially deadly kidney problems," the Daily Mail warns. Researchers have looked at whether there is an association between the prescribing patterns for these drugs and hospital admissions for kidney problems.

Long-term use of ibuprofen can also damage your kidneys. Alcohol use can harm your kidneys, too. Using ibuprofen and alcohol together can greatly increase your risk of kidney problems.

NSAIDs may slightly increase serum creatinine (a marker of kidney function which rises in kidney failure) compared with placebo . Quality of evidence was low. These studies only included fit, healthy patients.

Calcium channel or entry blockers (CEBs) exert important vascular and tubular effects on the kidney. These renal effects include an enhancement of glomerular filtration rate (GFR), renal blood flow (RBF), and electrolyte excretion.

A: Methylphenidate or Brand name "Ritalin" may cause blood pressure to elevate. If you have underlying high blood pressure, this should be monitored and treated appropriately. Otherwise, there should be no direct effect of methylphenidate on kidney function.

Abstract. In the present study we investigated the effect of a selective alpha 1-adrenergic blocker (doxazosin), an angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor (captopril), and a calcium channel antagonist (nifedipine) on renal function in hypertensive non-insulin-dependent diabetic patients.

NSAIDS, or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs like ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin) and naproxen (Aleve), lead the list for drugs that cause kidney damage because of their widespread use.

Theoretically, beta-blockers may reduce cardiac output and subsequently renal perfusion pressure, thereby exacerbating renal dysfunction. The sympathetic nervous system (SNS) is activated in CKD, which is a known factor in the progression of renal disease [6].

Ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin) The Bad: Can impair kidney function, more so if taken before or during a run. (NSAIDs inhibit blood-flow to the kidneys. Kidney circulation can also be suppressed by dehydration. So a dehydrated, NSAID- using athlete's kidneys could struggle to maintain a proper fluid and electrolyte balance.)

When taken as directed, regular use of aspirin does not seem to increase the risk of kidney disease in people who have normal kidney function. However, taking doses that are too large (usually more than six or eight tablets a day) may temporarily- and possibly permanently- reduce kidney function.
