1.
WHAT IPREZIV IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Ipreziv contains an active substance called azilsartan medoxomil and
belongs to a class of medicines
called angiotensin II receptor antagonists (AIIRAs). Angiotensin II is
a substance which occurs
naturally in the body and which causes the blood vessels to tighten,
therefore increasing your blood
pressure. Ipreziv blocks this effect so that the blood vessels relax,
which helps lower your blood
pressure.
This medicine is used for treating high blood pressure (essential
hypertension) in adult patients (over
18 years of age).
2.

ALLERGIC
(hypersensitive) to azilsartan medoxomil or any of the other
ingredients of Ipreziv
(see section 6).

CLINICAL PARTICULARS
4.1
THERAPEUTIC INDICATIONS
Ipreziv is indicated for the treatment of essential hypertension in
adults.
4.2
POSOLOGY AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION
Posology
The recommended starting dose is 40 mg once daily. The dose may be
increased to a maximum of
80 mg once daily for patients whose blood pressure is not adequately
controlled at the lower dose.
Near-maximal antihypertensive effect is evident at 2 weeks, with
maximal effects attained by
4 weeks.
If blood pressure is not adequately controlled with Ipreziv alone,
additional blood pressure reduction
can be achieved when Ipreziv is coadministered with other
antihypertensive medicinal products,
including diuretics (such as chlortalidone and hydrochlorothiazide)
and calcium channel blockers (see
sections 4.3, 4.4, 4.5 and 5.1).
_ _
Special populations
_Older people (65 years and over) _
No initial dose adjustment with Ipreziv is necessary in elderly
patients (see section 5.2), although
consideration can be given to 20 mg as a starting dose in the very
elderly (≥ 75 years), who may be at
risk of hypotension.
