WHAT ENVIAGE IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Enviage belongs to a new class of medicines called renin inhibitors.
Enviage helps to lower high blood
pressure. Renin inhibitors reduce the am
ount of angiotensin II the body can produce. Angiotensin II
causes blood vessels to tighten, which increases the blood pressure.
Reducing the amount of
angiotensin II allows the blood vessels to relax, which lowers blood
pressure.
High blood pressure increases the workload of the heart and arteries.
If this continues for a long tim
e,
it can damage the blood vessels of the brain, heart and kidneys, and
may result in a stroke, heart
failure, heart attack or kidney failure. Lowering the blood pressure
to a normal level reduces the risk
of developing these disorders.
2.
BEFORE YOU TAKE ENVIAGE
DO NOT TAKE ENVIAGE
-
if you are allergic (hypersensitive) to aliskiren or any
of the other ingredients of Enviage. If you
think you may be allergic, ask your doctor for advice.
-
if you have already experienced angioedema (difficulties in breathing,
or swallowing, or
swelling of the face, hands and feet, eyes, lips and/or tongue) when
taking aliskiren.
-
during the last 6 months of pregnancy or if you are breast-feeding,
