Dose or interval change

Irbesartan (Avapro), adult oral tablets for hypertension

Renal measure
Intravascular volume or salt depletion; no numerical renal cutoff for this starting dose
Renal action or finding
When intravascular volume or salt is depleted, including in some patients on hemodialysis or receiving intensive diuresis, start at 75 mg once daily.
Limits and monitoring
Assess volume status and blood pressure first. This lower starting dose addresses depletion; it is not a dose to repeat after every dialysis session.

Apply only to the stated formulation, indication and renal population.

Creatinine clearance (CrCl), mL/min; use the product-specific calculation
Renal action or finding
Below CrCl 50 mL/min, use of the fixed combination is not recommended. Use individual products if either component needs reduction.

Restriction or avoidance

Linagliptin/metformin (Jentadueto), adult immediate-release oral tablets

Renal measure
Indexed GFR/eGFR, mL/min/1.73 m2
Renal action or finding
Avoid starting at eGFR 30-45. Reassess benefit and risk if eGFR subsequently falls below 45; discontinue below 30, where use is contraindicated.
Limits and monitoring
Check renal function before therapy and periodically. Verify immediate-release dosing frequency and contrast precautions.

Apply only to the stated formulation, indication and renal population.

DailyMed SPL version 46, effective 2026-08-19; posted Aug 26, 2026 | Selected sections checked 2026-11-07. Independent clinical review pending.

Restriction or avoidance

Linagliptin/metformin (Jentadueto XR), adult extended-release oral tablets

Renal measure
Indexed GFR/eGFR, mL/min/1.73 m2
Renal action or finding
Initiation at eGFR 30-45 is not recommended. During treatment, reassess if eGFR drops below 45. Stop below 30; the product is contraindicated in that range.
Limits and monitoring
Check renal function at baseline and periodically. Confirm the XR presentation and contrast instructions.

Apply only to the stated formulation, indication and renal population.

DailyMed SPL version 10, effective 2026-08-19; posted Aug 27, 2026 | Selected sections checked 2026-11-07. Independent clinical review pending.

Insufficient evidence

Liposomal amphotericin B (AmBisome), adult IV infusion

Renal measure
Clinical renal category or population named in the cited section
Renal action or finding
The label describes use in patients with pre-existing impairment, but the effect of renal impairment on drug disposition has not been studied.
Limits and monitoring
Check kidney function and electrolytes, including potassium and magnesium. Confirm the liposomal formulation before use.

Apply only to the stated formulation, indication and renal population.

DailyMed SPL version 14, effective 2026-10-02; posted Oct 05, 2026 | Selected sections checked 2026-11-07. Independent clinical review pending.

Monitoring or toxicity

Lixisenatide (Adlyxin), adult single-ingredient SC injection

This summary uses the identified dated label. Verify the current label for this presentation before applying the regimen.

Renal measure
Indexed GFR/eGFR, mL/min/1.73 m2
Renal action or finding
In mild or moderate impairment, no dose reduction is required; monitor renal function and adverse effects. Severe impairment (eGFR 15 to <30) has very limited experience and requires close monitoring. Use is not recommended in ESRD.
Limits and monitoring
GI adverse effects can produce dehydration and worsen kidney function. Verify the single-ingredient pen and the dated source.

No adjustment within stated limits

Losartan (Cozaar), adult oral tablets

Renal measure
Clinical renal category or population named in the cited section
