1. What Amlodipine/Valsartan/Hydrochlorothiazide Krka is and what it is used for

Amlodipine/Valsartan/Hydrochlorothiazide Krka tablets contain three substances called amlodipine, valsartan, and hydrochlorothiazide. All of these substances help control high blood pressure.

  • Amlodipine belongs to a group of substances known as "calcium channel blockers". Amlodipine prevents calcium from entering the blood vessel wall, thereby preventing blood vessels from narrowing.
  • Valsartan belongs to a group of substances known as "angiotensin II receptor antagonists". Angiotensin II is produced by the body and causes blood vessels to narrow, thereby increasing blood pressure. Valsartan works by blocking the effect of angiotensin II.
  • Hydrochlorothiazide belongs to a group of substances known as "thiazide diuretics". Hydrochlorothiazide increases urine production, which also lowers blood pressure.

As a result of these three mechanisms, blood vessels relax and blood pressure is reduced.

Amlodipine/Valsartan/Hydrochlorothiazide Krka is used to treat high blood pressure in adult patients whose blood pressure is already controlled while taking amlodipine, valsartan, and hydrochlorothiazide separately, and who may benefit from taking a single tablet containing the three substances.

2. What you need to know before taking Amlodipine/Valsartan/Hydrochlorothiazide Krka

Do not take Amlodipine/Valsartan/Hydrochlorothiazide Krka

  • if you are more than 3 months pregnant. (In any case, Amlodipine/Valsartan/Hydrochlorothiazide Krka is recommended to be avoided also during early pregnancy – see Pregnancy section).

  • if you are allergic to amlodipine or any other calcium channel blocker, valsartan, hydrochlorothiazide, sulphonamide-derived medicines (medicines used to treat chest or urinary tract infections), or to any of the other ingredients of this medicine (listed in section 6). If you think you may be allergic, do not take Amlodipine/Valsartan/Hydrochlorothiazide Krka and inform your doctor.

  • if you have liver disease, destruction of the small bile ducts within the liver (primary biliary cirrhosis) leading to bile accumulation in the liver (cholestasis).

  • if you have severe kidney problems or are undergoing dialysis.

  • if you are unable to urinate (anuria).

  • if your blood potassium or sodium levels are too low despite treatment to increase potassium or sodium levels in the blood.

  • if your blood calcium levels are too high despite treatment to reduce calcium levels in the blood.

  • if you have gout (uric acid crystals in the joints).

  • if you have severe low blood pressure (hypotension).

  • if you have narrowing of the aortic valve (aortic stenosis) or cardiogenic shock (a condition in which your heart cannot supply enough blood to the body).

  • if you have heart failure following a heart attack.

  • if you have diabetes or kidney failure and are being treated with a blood pressure-lowering medicine containing aliskiren.

Do not take Amlodipine/Valsartan/Hydrochlorothiazide Krka and inform your doctor if any of the above conditions apply to you.

Warnings and precautions

Consult your doctor or pharmacist before taking Amlodipine/Valsartan/Hydrochlorothiazide Krka

  • if you have low levels of potassium or magnesium in your blood (with or without symptoms such as muscle weakness, muscle cramps, irregular heartbeat).

  • if you have low levels of sodium in your blood (with or without symptoms such as fatigue, confusion, muscle twitching, seizures).

  • if you have high levels of calcium in your blood (with or without symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, constipation, stomach pain, frequent urination, thirst, muscle spasms, and muscle weakness).

  • if you have kidney problems, have had a kidney transplant, or have been told you have narrowing of the arteries to the kidneys.

  • if you have liver problems.

  • if you have or have had heart failure or coronary artery disease, especially if you have been prescribed the maximum dose of Amlodipine/Valsartan/Hydrochlorothiazide Krka (10 mg/320 mg/25 mg).

  • if you have had a heart attack. Follow your doctor's instructions carefully when starting treatment. Your doctor may also monitor your kidney function.

  • if your doctor has informed you that you have narrowing of the heart valves (called “aortic or mitral stenosis”) or abnormal thickening of your heart muscle (called “obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy”).

  • if you have aldosteronism, a condition in which the adrenal glands produce too much aldosterone hormone. In this case, use of Amlodipine/Valsartan/Hydrochlorothiazide Krka is not recommended.

  • if you have systemic lupus erythematosus (also known as “lupus” or “SLE”).

  • if you have diabetes (high blood sugar).

  • if you have high cholesterol or triglyceride levels in your blood.

  • if you experience skin reactions such as rash after sun exposure.

  • if you have had an allergic reaction to other high blood pressure medicines or diuretics (a type of medicine also known as “water pills”), especially if you have asthma and allergies.

  • if you have been ill (with vomiting or diarrhea).

  • if you have experienced swelling, particularly in the face and throat, while taking other medicines (including angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors). If you have these symptoms, stop taking Amlodipine/Valsartan/Hydrochlorothiazide Krka and contact your doctor immediately. You must never take Amlodipine/Valsartan/Hydrochlorothiazide Krka again.

  • if you experience dizziness and/or fainting during treatment with Amlodipine/Valsartan/Hydrochlorothiazide Krka, inform your doctor as soon as possible.

  • if you experience vision changes or eye pain. These may be symptoms of fluid accumulation in the vascular layer of the eye (choroidal effusion) or increased intraocular pressure, which may occur within hours to weeks after taking Amlodipine/Valsartan/Hydrochlorothiazide Krka. If left untreated, this may lead to permanent vision loss. If you have previously had an allergy to penicillin or sulphonamides, you may have an increased risk of developing this condition.

  • if you are taking any of the following medicines for high blood pressure:

    • an angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor (ACEI) (e.g. enalapril, lisinopril, ramipril), particularly if you have kidney problems related to diabetes.
    • aliskiren.
  • if you have had skin cancer or develop an unexpected skin lesion during treatment. Treatment with hydrochlorothiazide, especially long-term use at high doses, may increase the risk of certain types of non-melanoma skin and lip cancer. Protect your skin from sun and UV exposure while taking Amlodipine/Valsartan/Hydrochlorothiazide Krka.

  • If you have had breathing or lung problems (such as inflammation or fluid in the lungs) after taking hydrochlorothiazide in the past. If you develop shortness of breath or severe difficulty breathing after taking Amlodipine/Valsartan/Hydrochlorothiazide Krka, see your doctor immediately.

Your doctor may monitor your kidney function, blood pressure, and blood electrolyte levels (e.g. potassium) at regular intervals.

Consult your doctor if you experience abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea after taking Amlodipine/Valsartan/Hydrochlorothiazide Krka. Your doctor will decide whether to continue treatment. Do not stop taking Amlodipine/Valsartan/Hydrochlorothiazide Krka on your own.

See also the information under the heading “Do not take Amlodipine/Valsartan/Hydrochlorothiazide Krka”.

Inform your doctor if any of the above conditions apply to you.

Taking Amlodipine/Valsartan/Hydrochlorothiazide Krka with food, drinks, and alcohol

People prescribed Amlodipine/Valsartan/Hydrochlorothiazide Krka should not consume grapefruit or grapefruit juice. This is because grapefruit and grapefruit juice may increase blood levels of the active substance amlodipine, which could cause an unpredictable increase in the blood pressure-lowering effect of Amlodipine/Valsartan/Hydrochlorothiazide Krka. Consult your doctor before drinking alcohol. Alcohol may greatly lower your blood pressure and/or increase the risk of dizziness or fainting.

Pregnancy and breastfeeding

Pregnancy

Inform your doctor if you are pregnant, suspect you may be pregnant, or plan to become pregnant. Your doctor will generally advise you to stop taking Amlodipine/Valsartan/Hydrochlorothiazide Krka before becoming pregnant or as soon as pregnancy is confirmed, and will recommend an alternative antihypertensive medicine. Use of Amlodipine/Valsartan/Hydrochlorothiazide Krka is not recommended during early pregnancy and must not be used from the third month of pregnancy onwards, as it may cause severe harm to your baby when used from that stage.

Breastfeeding

Inform your doctor if you are or plan to breastfeed. Amlodipine has been shown to pass into breast milk in small amounts. Administration of Amlodipine/Valsartan/Hydrochlorothiazide Krka to women during breastfeeding is not recommended. Your doctor may decide to prescribe a treatment more suitable for breastfeeding, especially if the infant is a newborn or premature.

Consult your doctor or pharmacist before using any medicine.

Driving and use of machines

This medicine may make you feel dizzy, drowsy, nauseous, or cause headache. If you experience these symptoms, do not drive or operate tools or machinery.

Amlodipine/Valsartan/Hydrochlorothiazide Krka contains sodium

This medicine contains less than 1 mmol of sodium (23 mg) per film-coated tablet; essentially “sodium-free”.

3. How to take Amlodipine/Valsartan/Hydrochlorothiazide Krka

Follow exactly the instructions for use of this medicine given by your doctor or pharmacist. If in doubt, consult your doctor or pharmacist again. This will help you achieve the best results and reduce the risk of adverse effects.

The usual dose of Amlodipine/Valsartan/Hydrochlorothiazide Krka is one tablet daily.
