SUMMARY OF PRODUCT CHARACTERISTICS 1 NAME OF THE MEDICINAL PRODUCT Acerycal 5mg/5mg Tablets 2 QUALITATIVE AND QUANTITATIVE COMPOSITION One tablet contains 3.395mg perindopril equivalent to 5mg perindopril arginine and 6.935mg amlodipine besilate equivalent to 5mg amlodipine Excipient: lactose monohydrate For a full list of excipients, see section 6.1 3 PHARMACEUTICAL FORM Tablets _Product imported from Poland:_ White, rod-shaped tablet engraved with 5/5 on one face and on the other face. 4 CLINICAL PARTICULARS 4.1 THERAPEUTIC INDICATIONS Acerycal is indicated as substitution therapy for treatment of essential hypertension and/or stable coronary artery disease, in patients already controlled with perindopril and amlodipine given concurrently at the same dose level. 4.2 POSOLOGY AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION Oral route. One tablet per day as a single dose, preferably to be taken in the morning and before a meal. The fixed dose combination is not suitable for initial therapy. If a change of posology is required, the dose of Acerycal could be modified or individual titration with free combination may be considered. _Special populations_ _Patients with renal impairment and elderly (see sections 4.4 and 5.2)_ Elimination of perindoprilat is decreased in the elderly and in patients with renal failure. Therefore, the usual medical follow-up will include frequent monitoring of creatinine and potassium. Acerycal can be administered in patients with Clcr 60ml/min, and is not suitable for patients with Clcr < 60ml/min. In these patients, an individual dose titration with the monocomponents is recommended. Amlodipine used at similar doses in elderly or younger patients is equally well tolerated. Normal dosage regimens are recommended in the elderly, but increase of the dosage should take place Прочитайте повний документ
