WHAT SPRIMEO IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Sprimeo belongs to a new class of medicines called renin inhibitors.
Sprimeo helps to lower high
blood pressure. Renin inhibitors reduce the amount of angiotensin II
the body can produce.
Angiotensin II causes blood vessels to tighten, which increases the
blood pressure. Reducing the
amount of angiotensin II allows the blood vessels to relax, which
lowers blood pressure.
High blood pressure increases the workload of the heart and arteries.
If this continues for a long time,
it can damage the blood vessels of the brain, heart and kidneys, and
may result in a stroke, heart
failure, heart attack or kidney failure. Lowering the blood pressure
to a normal level reduces the risk
of developing these disorders.

POSOLOGY AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION
The recommended dose of Sprimeo is 150 mg once daily. In patients
whose blood pressure is not
adequately controlled, the dose may be increased to 300 mg once daily.
The antihypertensive effect is substantially present within two weeks
(85-90%) after initiating therapy
with 150 mg once daily.
Sprimeo may be used alone or in combination with other
antihypertensive agents with the exception
of use in combination with angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors
(ACEI) or angiotensin II
receptor blockers (ARB) in patients with diabetes mellitus or renal
impairment (glomerular filtration
rate (GFR) < 60 ml/min/1.73 m
2
) (see sections 4.3, 4.4 and 5.1).
Sprimeo should be taken with a light meal once a day, preferably at
the same time each day.
Grapefruit juice should not be taken together with Sprimeo.
Renal impairment
No adjustment of the initial dose is required for patients with mild
to moderate renal impairment (see
sections 4.4 and 5.2). Sprimeo is not recommended in patients with
severe renal impairment (GFR
< 30 ml/min/1.73 m
2
). Concomitant use of Sprimeo with ARBs or ACEIs is contraindicated in
patients with renal impairment (GFR < 60 ml/min/1.73 m
2
) (see section 4.3).

to severe hepatic impairment (see
