4 CLINICAL PARTICULARS
4.1 THERAPEUTIC INDICATIONS
Blopress is indicated for the:
•
Treatment of essential hypertension in adults.
•
Treatment of hypertension in children and adolescents aged 6 to <18
years.
•
Treatment of adult patients with heart failure and impaired left
ventricular systolic function (left ventricular
ejection fraction
40 when Angiotensin Converting Enzyme (ACE) inhibitors are not
tolerated or as add-on
therapy to ACE inhibitors in patients with symptomatic heart failure,
despite optimal therapy, when
mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists are not tolerated (see sections
4.2, 4.4, 4.5, and 5.1).
4.2 POSOLOGY AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION
Posology in Hypertension
The recommended initial dose and usual maintenance dose of Blopress is
8 mg once daily. Most of the antihypertensive
effect is attained within 4 weeks. In some patients whose blood
pressure is not adequately controlled, the dose can be
increased to 16 mg once daily and to a maximum of 32 mg once daily.
Therapy should be adjusted according to blood
pressure response.
Blopress may also be administered with other antihypertensive agents
– ( see sections 4.3, 4.4, 4.5 and 5.1). Addition of
hydrochlorothiazide has been shown to have an additive
antihypertensive effect with various doses of Blopress.
_Older people_
No initial dose adjustment is necessary in elderly patients.
_Patients with intravascular volume depletion_
An initial dose of 4 mg may be considered in patients at risk for
hypotension, such as patients with possible volume
depletion (see section 4.4).
