WHAT ONDUARP IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
_ _
Onduarp tablets contain two active substances called telmisartan and
amlodipine. Both of these
substances help to control your high blood pressure:
- Telmisartan belongs to a group of substances called
“angiotensin-II receptor antagonists”.
Angiotensin II is a substance produced in the body which causes blood
vessels to narrow, thus
increasing blood pressure. Telmisartan works by blocking the effect of
angiotensin II.
- Amlodipine belongs to a group of substances called “calcium
channel blockers”. Amlodipine stops
calcium from moving into the blood vessel wall which stops the blood
vessels from tightening.
This means that both of these active substances work together to help
stop your blood vessels
tightening. As a result, the blood vessels relax and blood pressure is
lowered.
ONDUARP IS USED TO treat high blood pressure
- in adult patients whose blood pressure is not controlled enough with
amlodipine.
- in adult patients who already receive telmisartan and amlodipine
from separate tablets and who wish
to take instead the same doses in one tablet for

THERAPEUTIC INDICATIONS
Treatment of essential hypertension in adults:
Add on therapy
Onduarp is indicated in adults whose blood pressure is not adequately
controlled on amlodipine.

Adult patients receiving telmisartan and amlodipine from separate
tablets can instead receive tablets of

POSOLOGY AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION

The recommended dose of Onduarp is one tablet per day.
The maximum recommended dose is Onduarp 80 mg/10 mg, one tablet per
day. Onduarp is indicated
for long term treatment.
Administration of amlodipine with grapefruit or grapefruit juice is
not recommended as bioavailability
may be increased in some patients resulting in increased blood
pressure lowering effects (see section
4.5).
_Add on therapy_
_ _
Onduarp 40 mg/5 mg tablets may be administered in patients whose blood
pressure is not adequately
controlled with amlodipine 5 mg alone.
Individual dose titration with the components (i.e. amlodipine and
telmisartan) is recommended before
changing to the fixed dose combination. When clinically appropriate,
direct change from monotherapy
to the fixed combination may be considered.
