1. What Lisinopril/Hydrochlorothiazide Sandoz Farmacéutica is and what it is used for

Lisinopril belongs to a group of medicines called angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors and lowers blood pressure by widening blood vessels.

Hydrochlorothiazide belongs to a group of medicines called diuretics and lowers blood pressure by increasing urine output.

Lisinopril/Hydrochlorothiazide Sandoz Farmacéutica contains a combination of lisinopril and hydrochlorothiazide and is used to treat high blood pressure when treatment with lisinopril alone is not sufficient.

Your doctor may also prescribe lisinopril/hydrochlorothiazide instead of separate tablets containing the same doses of lisinopril and hydrochlorothiazide. This fixed-dose combination is not appropriate at the start of treatment.

2. What you need to know before taking Lisinopril/Hydrochlorothiazide Sandoz Farmacéutica

DO NOT take Lisinopril/Hydrochlorothiazide Sandoz Farmacéutica:

  • if you are allergic to lisinopril, hydrochlorothiazide, or any of the other ingredients of this medicine (listed in section 6),
  • if you are allergic to other ACE inhibitors, for example ramipril, or to sulfonamide-derived medicines (most antibiotics, e.g., sulfamethoxazole),
  • if you have ever experienced itching, blistering, sudden drop in blood pressure, sudden swelling of hands, feet, ankles, face, lips, tongue, or throat (angioedema), especially after treatment with medicines of the ACE inhibitor group (angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors). Difficulty swallowing or breathing may also occur.
  • if you have hereditary angioedema (a condition that makes you more prone to the swelling described above). If you are unsure whether this condition applies to you, consult your doctor,
  • if you have taken or are currently taking sacubitril/valsartan, a medicine used to treat chronic heart failure in adults, as the risk of angioedema (rapid swelling under the skin in areas such as the throat) is high,
  • if any of your family members have ever had swelling of limbs, face, mouth, throat, or tongue (angioedema),
  • if you have severe kidney problems,
  • if you have severe liver problems,
  • if you have problems producing urine (anuria),
  • if you are more than 3 months pregnant. (It is also advisable to avoid lisinopril/hydrochlorothiazide in early pregnancy; see Pregnancy section),
  • if you have diabetes or renal impairment and are being treated with a blood pressure-lowering medicine containing aliskiren.

Warnings and precautions

Talk to your doctor or pharmacist before taking Lisinopril/Hydrochlorothiazide Sandoz Farmacéutica:

  • if you have narrowing of arteries (arteriosclerosis), cerebrovascular disorders such as stroke or transient ischemic attack (TIA, a minor stroke),

  • if you have heart failure,

  • if you have low blood pressure, are on a salt-restricted diet, or are taking diuretics,

  • if you have abnormal levels of water and minerals in your body (fluid/electrolyte imbalance),

  • if you have heart muscle disease (hypertrophic cardiomyopathy), narrowing of the main artery carrying blood from the heart, the aorta (aortic stenosis), or other forms of a heart condition called outflow tract obstruction,

  • if you are undergoing LDL apheresis (removal of cholesterol from blood via a machine),

  • if you are undergoing desensitization treatment for insect stings such as bees or wasps,

  • if you have diabetes,

  • if you have previously experienced respiratory or lung problems (such as inflammation or fluid in the lungs) after taking hydrochlorothiazide. If you develop shortness of breath or severe difficulty breathing after taking lisinopril/hydrochlorothiazide, seek medical attention immediately,

  • if you are taking any of the following medicines used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension):

  • an angiotensin II receptor antagonist (ARA) (also known as "sartans", e.g., valsartan, telmisartan, irbesartan), particularly if you have kidney problems related to diabetes,

  • aliskiren.

Your doctor may monitor your kidney function, blood pressure, and blood electrolyte levels (e.g., potassium) at regular intervals. See also information under the heading “DO NOT take Lisinopril/Hydrochlorothiazide Sandoz Farmacéutica”),

  • if you are taking any of the following medicines, the risk of angioedema (rapid swelling under the skin in areas such as the throat) may increase:
  • sirolimus, temsirolimus, everolimus, and other medicines belonging to the class called mTOR inhibitors (used to prevent organ transplant rejection and in cancer treatment),
  • racecadotril, a medicine used to treat diarrhea,
  • vildagliptin, a medicine used to treat diabetes,
  • tissue plasminogen activator (tPA), used to dissolve blood clots formed in blood vessels,
  • if you are taking other medicines such as salt substitutes or potassium supplements,
  • if you have gout, high levels of uric acid in the blood, or are being treated with allopurinol or procainamide,
  • if you are undergoing surgery (including dental surgery) and will receive anesthetics,
  • if you have recently had prolonged vomiting and/or severe diarrhea,
  • if you are scheduled for a parathyroid gland function test,
  • if you have or have had liver or kidney problems, or have narrowing of the arteries to your kidneys (renal artery stenosis), only one functioning kidney, or are on dialysis,
  • if you have a collagen vascular disease such as systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) or scleroderma, which may be associated with skin rashes, joint pain, and fever,
  • if you have had skin cancer or develop an unexpected skin lesion during treatment. Treatment with hydrochlorothiazide, particularly long-term use at high doses, may increase the risk of certain types of non-melanoma skin and lip cancer. Protect your skin from exposure to sunlight and UV rays while taking Lisinopril/Hydrochlorothiazide Sandoz Farmacéutica,
  • if you suffer from allergic conditions or asthma,
  • if you are taking lithium, used to treat certain psychiatric disorders,
  • if you think you are (or might become) pregnant. Lisinopril/hydrochlorothiazide is not recommended in early pregnancy and must not be taken if you are more than 3 months pregnant, as it may cause serious harm to your baby if used during this period (see Pregnancy section),
  • if you are being treated with other diuretics.

Lisinopril/Hydrochlorothiazide is generally not recommended in the following cases, so you should consult your doctor before taking this medicine:

  • if you have recently received a kidney transplant,
  • if you have high levels of potassium in your blood.

See also the section “Other medicines and Lisinopril/Hydrochlorothiazide Sandoz Farmacéutica”.

Consult your doctor if you are an athlete, as this medicine contains a component that may result in a positive analytical finding in doping controls.

Elderly or malnourished patients should take special care when taking lisinopril/hydrochlorothiazide.

Lisinopril/hydrochlorothiazide may be less effective in black patients.

Children

This medicine is not recommended for use in children.

While taking Lisinopril/Hydrochlorothiazide Sandoz Farmacéutica:

Contact your doctor immediately if you develop any of the following symptoms:

  • if you feel dizzy after your first dose. Some people react to the first dose or dose increase with dizziness, weakness, fainting, and nausea,
  • sudden swelling of lips and neck, possibly also hands and feet, or wheezing or hoarseness. This condition is called angioedema. It can occur at any time during treatment. ACE inhibitors are more likely to cause angioedema in black patients than in patients of other races,
  • high fever, sore throat, or mouth ulcers (these may be symptoms of infection due to a reduced number of white blood cells),
  • yellowing of the skin or whites of the eyes (jaundice), which may be a sign of liver disease,
  • persistent dry cough over a long period. Cough has been reported with ACE inhibitors but may also be a symptom of another upper respiratory tract disease,
  • mild myopia or glaucoma. Talk to your doctor or pharmacist if you experience vision loss or eye pain. These could be symptoms of fluid accumulation in the vascular layer of the eye (choroidal effusion) or increased eye pressure, which may occur within hours to a week after taking lisinopril/hydrochlorothiazide. If untreated, this could lead to permanent vision loss. If you have previously been allergic to penicillins or sulfonamides, you may have a higher risk of developing these symptoms.

  • other medicines used to treat high blood pressure. Your doctor may need to adjust your dose and/or take other precautions.
