INTRODUCTION Co-Anginet® 160/25 is a generic medicine of CoDiovan forte 160 mg/25 mg tablets, Novartis Pharma GmbH. Fixed combination antihypertensive agents i.e. valsartan, an angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB), and hydrochlorothiazide, a thiazide diuretic. Hydrochlorothiazide is a diuretic that produces smooth muscle cell relaxation and volume depletion. Hypokalaemia is a known side effect of thiazide diuretic therapy. The addition of an ARB to a thiazide diuretic has a potentially synergistic effect on blood pressure reduction by blocking the actions of angiotensin II at the AT1 receptor and also attenuates diuretic-induced hypokalaemia. Co-Anginet® is approved in Tanzania for use only in adult patients. 1.1 PRODUCT DETAILS Registration number TAN 22 HM 0145 Brand name Co-Anginet® 160/25 Generic name, strength, and form Each film-coated tablet contains Valsartan 160 mg and Hydrochlorothiazide 25 mg ATC classification ATC Code- C09DA03 - Angiotensin II antagonists and diuretics combinations Distribution category POM Country of origin Jordan Associated product Co-Anginet®80/12.5, Co-Anginet®160/12.5 Marketing Authorization Holder United Pharmaceuticals Manufacturing Company Limited, Al Rageem Sahab, Amman-Jordan E-mail: samar.amaireh@mspharma.com Local Technical Representative Wide Spectrum(Tanzania) limited Sikukuu Str, Kariakoo, P.O BOX 90518 Dar-es-Salaam, Tanzania E-mail:widespectrumtz@yahoo.com 1.2 ASSESSMENT PROCEDURE The application for registration of Co-Anginet® 160/25 was submitted on 05 July 2017.
