Another question on drug interaction

I am using a HBP medicine named IRBESARTAN or an
angiotensin2 inhibitor, which, according to what i have
read, raises lithium in our bodies. And "the concurrent use
of calcium channel blocking agents with lithium may increase
the risk of neurotoxicity in the form of ataxia, tremors,
nausea, vomiting,diarrhea and/or tinnitus!!!"

My doctor has put me on a calcium channel blocker and an
Irbesartan tablet. Does this mean such a combination may
exacerbate my current T?

Thank you in advance,

FP

That will have to be empirically determined.
