WHAT IS IN THIS LEAFLET

TAKING MONOPRIL.*

not contain all the available
information. Some of the information
it contains may not apply to you. It

WHAT IS MONOPRIL
USED FOR
MONOPRIL is used for treating high
blood pressure (hypertension) or
heart failure. Both of these are long
term (chronic) diseases so it is
important that you continue to take
your MONOPRIL every day.
HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE
(HYPERTENSION):
Everyone has blood pressure. This
pressure helps get your blood all
around your body. Your blood
pressure may be different at different
times of the day, depending on how
busy or worried you are. If you have
hypertension (high blood pressure),
this means that your blood pressure
stays higher than is needed, even
when you are relaxed.
There are usually no symptoms of
hypertension. The only way of
knowing that you have hypertension
is to have your blood pressure
checked on a regular basis. If high
blood pressure is not treated it can
lead to serious health problems,
including stroke, heart disease and
kidney failure.
HEART FAILURE:
Heart failure means that the heart
muscle cannot pump blood strongly
enough to supply all the blood
needed throughout the body. Heart
failure is not the same as heart attack
and does not mean that the heart
stops. Heart failure may start off with
no symptoms, but as the condition
progresses, patients feel short of
breath or may get tired easily after
light physical activity such as
walking. Some patients may wake up
short of breath at night. Fluid may
collect in different parts of the body,
often first noticed as swollen ankles
and feet.

DOSE AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION
HYPERTENSION
FOR HYPERTENSIVE PATIENTS NOT BEING TREATED WITH DIURETICS
:
The recommended initial dose of
MONOPRIL is 10mg once a day. The usual dose range required to maintain
blood pressure control is
10 to 40mg per day administered as a single dose. MONOPRIL should be
taken at the same time each
day. Dosage should then be adjusted according to blood pressure
response. If blood pressure is not
adequately controlled with MONOPRIL alone, a diuretic may be added.
FOR HYPERTENSIVE PATIENTS CURRENTLY BEING TREATED WITH DIURETICS:
_ _
(or who may be volume
depleted): The diuretic should preferably be discontinued for several
days prior to beginning therapy
with MONOPRIL in order to reduce the risk of an excessive hypotensive
response. (See 4.4 Special
warnings and precautions for use). If blood pressure is inadequately
controlled after an observation
period of approximately 4 weeks, diuretic therapy may be resum
