WHAT SPRIMEO HCT IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Sprimeo HCT tablets contain two active substances, called aliskiren
and hydrochlorothiazide. Both of
these substances help to control high blood pressure (hypertension).
Aliskiren is a substance that belongs to a new group of medicines
called renin inhibitors. These reduce
the amount of angiotensin II the body can make. Angiotensin II causes
blood vessels to tighten, which
makes blood pressure higher. Lowering the amount of angiotensin II
allows the blood vessels to relax;
this lowers blood pressure.
Hydrochlorothiazide belongs to a group of medicines called thiazide
diuretics. Hydrochlorothiazide
increases urine output, which also 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.

CLINICAL PARTICULARS
4.1
THERAPEUTIC INDICATIONS
Treatment of essential hypertension in adults.
Sprimeo HCT is indicated in patients whose blood pressure is not
adequately controlled on aliskiren or
hydrochlorothiazide used alone.
Sprimeo HCT is indicated as substitution therapy in patients

POSOLOGY AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION
The recommended dose of Sprimeo HCT is one tablet per day. Sprimeo HCT
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 HCT.
The antihypertensive effect is largely manifested within 1 week and
the maximum effect is generally
seen within 4 weeks.
Posology in patients not adequately controlled with aliskiren or
hydrochlorothiazide monotherapy
Individual dose titration with each of the two components may be
recommended before changing to
the fixed combination. When clinically appropriate, direct change from
monotherapy to the fixed
combination may be considered.
Sprimeo HCT 150 mg /12.5 mg may be administered in patients whose
blood pressure is not
adequately controlled with aliskiren 150 mg or hydrochlorothiazide
12.5 mg alone.
If blood pressure remains uncontrolled after 2-4 weeks of therapy, the
