WHAT RASILAMLO IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
WHAT RASILAMLO IS
Rasilamlo contains two active substances, called aliskiren and
amlodipine. Both of these substances
help to control high blood pressure (hypertension).
Aliskiren is a renin inhibitor. It reduces the amount of angiotensin
II the body can make.
Angiotensin II causes blood vessels to tighten, which raises blood
pressure. Lowering the amount of
angiotensin II allows the blood vessels to relax; this lowers blood
pressure.
Amlodipine belongs to a group of medicines known as calcium channel
blockers, which help to
control high blood pressure. Amlodipine causes blood vessels to dilate
and relax, thus blood pressure
is lowered.
High blood pressure increases the workload of the heart and arteries.
If this continues for a long time,
it can damage the blood vessels of the brain, heart and kidneys, and
may result in a stroke, heart
failure, heart attack or kidne

CLINICAL PARTICULARS
4.1
THERAPEUTIC INDICATIONS
Rasilamlo is indicated for the treatment of essential hypertension in
adult patients whose blood
pressure is not adequately controlled with aliskiren or amlodipine
used alone.
4.2
POSOLOGY AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION
Posology
The recommended dose of Rasilamlo is one tablet per day.
The antihypertensive effect is manifested within 1 week and the effect
is near maximal at around
4 weeks. If blood pressure remains uncontrolled after 4 to 6 weeks of
therapy, the dose may be
titrated up to a maximum of 300 mg aliskiren/10 mg amlodipine. Dose
should be individualised and
adjusted according to the patient’s clinical response.
Rasilamlo may be administered with other antihypertensive medicinal
products with the exception of
use in combination with angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors
(ACEI) or angiotensin II receptor
blockers (ARB) in patients with diabetes mellitus or renal impairment
(glomerular filtration rate
(GFR) <60 ml/min/1.73 m
2
) (see sections 4.3, 4.4 and 5.1).
_Posology in patients not adequately controlled with aliskiren or
amlodipine monotherapy _
Rasilamlo 150 mg/5 mg may be administered in patients whose blood
pressure is not adequately
controlled with aliskiren 150 mg or amlodipine 5 mg alone.
A patient who experiences dose limiting adverse reactions on either
component alone may be
switched to Rasilamlo containing a lower dose of that component to
achieve similar blood pressure
reductions.
