WHAT IFIRMASTA IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Ifirmasta belongs to a group of medicines known as angiotensin-II
receptor antagonists. Angiotensin-
II is a substance produced in the body which binds to receptors in
blood vessels causing them to
tighten. This results in an increase in blood pressure. Ifirmasta
prevents the binding of angiotensin-II
to these receptors, causing the blood vessels to relax and the blood
pressure to lower. Ifirmasta slows
the decrease of kidney function in patients with high blood pressure
and type 2 diabetes.
Ifirmasta is used in adult patients
-
to treat high blood pressure (_essential hypertension_)
-
to protect the kidney in patients with high blood pressure, type 2
diabetes and laboratory
evidence of impaired kidney function.

CLINICAL PARTICULARS
4.1
THERAPEUTIC INDICATIONS
Ifirmasta is indicated in adults for the treatment of essential
hypertension.
It is also indicated for the treatment of renal disease in adult
patients with hypertension and type 2
diabetes mellitus as part of an antihypertensive medicinal product
regimen (see sections 4.3, 4.4, 4.5
and 5.1).
4.2
POSOLOGY AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION
Posology
The usual recommended initial and maintenance dose is 150 mg once
daily, with or without food.
Ifirmasta at a dose of 150 mg once daily generally provides a better
24 hour blood pressure control
than 75 mg. However, initiation of therapy with 75 mg could be
considered, particularly in
haemodialysed patients and in the elderly over 75 years.
3
In patients insufficiently controlled with 150 mg once daily, the dose
of Ifirmasta can be increased to
300 mg, or other antihypertensive agents can be added (see sections
4.3, 4.4, 4.5 and 5.1). In
particular, the addition of a diuretic such as hydrochlorothiazide has
been shown to have an additive
effect with Ifirmasta (see section
