What dietary recommendation is given with Aliskiren (Tekturna)?

  1. Avoid high sodium foods

  2. Avoid high fat foods

  3. High fiber diet

  4. High protein diet

The correct answer is: Avoid high fat foods

Aliskiren (Tekturna) is a direct renin inhibitor used to treat hypertension. The correct dietary recommendation given with Aliskiren is to avoid high fat foods. High fat foods can decrease the absorption of Aliskiren, reducing its effectiveness. Therefore, it is important for patients taking Aliskiren to follow a low-fat diet to ensure the medication works as intended. High sodium foods, high fiber diet, and high protein diet are not specifically associated with Aliskiren therapy.
