When checking interaction based on authoritative sources Drugs.com, Rxlist.com, Webmd.com, Medscape.com there are contraindications or side effects that may cause harm or increase the negative effect from drug use in presence of concomitant diseases.

Consumer:

Ammonium chloride should be used cautiously and under medical supervision in patients with renal impairment as it can result in hyperchloremia and metabolic acidosis. Ammonium chloride should not be administered alone in patients with severe renal impairment experiencing metabolic alkalosis secondary to vomiting of HCl and accompanied by substantial sodium loss. Sodium chloride alone or in combination with ammonium chloride may be necessary to correct the sodium and chloride loss.
