WHAT IMPRIDA IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Imprida tablets contain two substances called amlodipine and
valsartan. Both of these substances help
to control high blood pressure.
Amlodipine belongs to a group of substances called “calcium channel
blockers”. Amlodipine
stops calcium from moving into the blood vessel wall which stops the
blood vessels from
tightening.
Valsartan belongs to a group of substances called “angiotensin-II
receptor antagonists”.
Angiotensin II is produced by the body and makes the blood vessels
tighten, thus increasing the
blood pressure. Valsartan works by blocking the effect of angiotensin
II.
This means that both of these substances help to stop the blood
vessels tightening. As a result, the
blood vessels relax and blood pressure is lowered.
Imprida is used to treat high blood pressure in adults whose blood
pressure is not controlled enough
with either amlodipine or valsartan on its own.

blockers. This may involve

Treatment of essential hypertension.
Imprida is indicated in adults whose blood pressure is not adequately

4.2
POSOLOGY AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION
Posology
The recommended dose of Imprida is one tablet per day.
Imprida 5 mg/80 mg may be administered in patients whose blood
pressure is not adequately
controlled with amlodipine 5 mg or valsartan 80 mg alone.
Imprida can be used with or without food.
Individual dose titration with the components (i.e. amlodipine and
valsartan) is recommended before
changing to the fixed dose combination. When clinically appropriate,
direct change from monotherapy
to the fixed-dose combination may be considered.
For convenience, patients receiving valsartan and amlodipine from
separate tablets/capsules may be
switched to Imprida containing the same component doses.
