adequately controlled on valsartan or hydrochlorothiazide monotherapy.

Posology
The recommended dose of Valsartan/Hydrochlorothiazide Fair-Med 80/12.5mg or 160/12.5mg or 160/25mg or
320/12.5mg or 320/25mg is one film-coated tablet once daily. Dose titration with the individual components is
recommended. In each case, up-titration of individual components to the next dose should be followed in order to
reduce the risk of hypotension and other adverse events.

whose blood pressure is not adequately controlled on valsartan or hydrochlorothiazide monotherapy, provided the
recommended dose titration sequence for the individual components is followed.
The clinical response to Valsartan/Hydrochlorothiazide Fair-Med should be evaluated after initiating therapy and if
blood pressure remains uncontrolled, the dose may be increased by increasing either one of the components to a
maximum dose of Valsartan/Hydrochlorothiazide Fair-Med 320 mg/25 mg.
The antihypertensive effect is substantially present within 2 weeks.
In most patients, maximal effects are o
