WHAT VALSARTAN/HYDROCHLOROTHIAZIDE TEVA IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Valsartan/Hydrochlorothiazide Teva film-coated tablets contain two
active substances called valsartan
and hydrochlorothiazide. Both of these substances help to control high
blood pressure (hypertension).
-
VALSARTAN
belongs to a class of medicines known as “angiotensin-II receptor
antagonists”,
which help to control high blood pressure. Angiotensin-II is a
substance in the body that causes
vessels to tighten, thus causing your blood pressure to increase.
Valsartan works by blocking the
effect of angiotensin-II. As a result blood vessels relax and blood
pressure is lowered.
-
HYDROCHLOROTHIAZIDE
belongs to a group of medicines called thiazide diuretics (also known
as
“water tablets”). Hydrochlorothiazide increases urine output,
which also lowers blood pressure.
Valsartan/Hydrochlorothiazide Teva is used to treat high blood
pressure which is not adequately
control

4 CLINICAL PARTICULARS
4.1 THERAPEUTIC INDICATIONS
Treatment of essential hypertension in adults.
Valsartan/Hydrochlorothiazide fixed-dose combination is indicated in
patients whose blood pressure is not adequately
controlled on valsartan or hydrochlorothiazide monotherapy.
4.2 POSOLOGY AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION
_Posology_
The recommended dose of Valsartan/Hydrochlorothiazide 80 mg/12.5 mg or
160 mg/25 mg 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.
When clinically appropriate, direct change from monotherapy to the
fixed combination may be considered in patients 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 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 320 mg/25 mg.
The antihypertensive effect is substantially present within 2 weeks.
In most patients, maximal effects are observed within 4 weeks.
However, in some patients, 4-8 weeks treatment may be
required. This should be taken into account during do
