1.
WHAT PHARMAPRESS IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
PHARMAPRESS belongs to a group of medicines called
Angiotensin-converting enzyme
inhibitors (ACE inhibitors). It works by causing blood vessels to
relax, lowering blood pressure,
and increasing the supply of blood and oxygen to the heart.
PHARMAPRESS is used in adults to:
•
treat high blood pressure (hypertension) including renovascular
hypertension (caused by
high blood pressure due to narrowing of the arteries that carry blood
to the kidneys).
•
the treatment of heart failure (weakening of the heart function),
usually combined with
other medicines used for high blood pressure (diuretics) and medicine
used to treat heart
rhythm problems (digoxin).
•
the treatment of a form of heart failure with no symptoms
(asymptomatic left ventricular
dysfunction). PHARMAPRESS decreases the rate of development of heart
failure with
symptoms and decreases the incidence of hospitalisation for heart
failure.

4.1 THERAPEUTIC INDICATIONS
PHARMAPRESS is indicated in:
•
HYPERTENSION
-
All grades of essential hypertension;
-
renovascular hypertension.
•
HEART FAILURE
PHARMAPRESS is indicated for the treatment of symptomatic congestive
heart failure,
usually in combination with diuretics and when appropriate, digoxin.
In these patients,
PHARMAPRESS improves symptoms, increases survival and decreases the
frequency of
hospitalisation.
•
ASYMPTOMATIC LEFT VENTRICULAR DYSFUNCTION
In clinically stable asymptomatic patients with left ventricular
dysfunction (ejection fraction
≤
35 %), PHARMAPRESS decreases the rate of development of overt heart
failure and
decreases the incidence of hospitalisation for heart failure.
4.2 POSOLOGY AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION
POSOLOGY
_Adults _
_ _
ESSENTIAL HYPERTENSION
The initial dose is 10 mg to 20 mg depending on the degree of
hypertension and is given once
daily. In mild hypertension the recommended initial dose is 10 mg
