1. What Olmesartán/Amlodipino/Hidroclorotiazida Stada is and what it is used for

Olmesartán/Amlodipino/Hidroclorotiazida Stada contains three active substances: olmesartán medoxomilo, amlodipino (as amlodipino besilato), and hidroclorotiazida. These three substances help control high blood pressure.

  • Olmesartán medoxomilo belongs to a group of medicines called “angiotensin II receptor antagonists,” which lower blood pressure by relaxing blood vessels.
  • Amlodipino belongs to a group of medicines called “calcium channel blockers.” Amlodipino also lowers blood pressure by relaxing blood vessels.
  • Hidroclorotiazida belongs to a group of medicines called thiazide diuretics. It lowers blood pressure by helping the body get rid of excess fluid, increasing urine production by the kidneys.

The combined action of these substances helps reduce your blood pressure.

Olmesartán/amlodipino/hidroclorotiazida is used to treat high blood pressure:

  • in adult patients whose blood pressure is not adequately controlled with the combination of olmesartán medoxomilo and amlodipino taken as a fixed-dose combination
  • in adult patients who are already taking a fixed-dose combination of olmesartán medoxomilo and hidroclorotiazida together with tablets containing only amlodipino, or a fixed-dose combination of olmesartán medoxomilo and amlodipino together with tablets containing only hidroclorotiazida.

2. What you need to know before taking Olmesartán/Amlodipino/Hidroclorotiazida Stada

DO NOT take Olmesartán/Amlodipino/Hidroclorotiazida Stada

  • if you are allergic to olmesartán medoxomil, amlodipine, or a specific group of calcium channel blockers (dihydropyridines), hydrochlorothiazide, or substances similar to hydrochlorothiazide (sulfonamides), or to any of the other components of this medicine (listed in section 6). If you think you may be allergic, inform your doctor before taking olmesartán/amlodipino/hidroclorotiazida.
  • if you have severe kidney problems.
  • if you have diabetes or renal insufficiency and are being treated with a blood pressure-lowering medicine containing aliskiren.
  • if you have low levels of potassium or sodium in the blood, high levels of calcium or uric acid (with symptoms of gout or kidney stones) in the blood, which do not improve with treatment.
  • if you are more than 3 months pregnant. (It is also advisable to avoid olmesartán/amlodipino/hidroclorotiazida early in pregnancy – see section “Pregnancy and breastfeeding”).
  • if you have severe liver problems, biliary secretion disorders, or obstruction of bile drainage from the gallbladder (e.g., due to gallstones), or have jaundice (yellowing of the skin and eyes).
  • if you have inadequate blood supply to your tissues, with symptoms such as low blood pressure, weak pulse, rapid heartbeat, or shock (including cardiogenic shock, meaning shock due to serious heart problems).
  • if you have very low blood pressure.
  • if blood flow from your heart is slow or blocked. This may occur if the blood vessels or valves bringing blood from the heart are narrowed (aortic stenosis).
  • if you have low cardiac output after a heart attack (acute myocardial infarction). Low cardiac output may make you feel short of breath or have swelling in your feet and ankles.

Do not take olmesartán/amlodipino/hidroclorotiazida if any of these apply to you.

Warnings and precautions

Talk to your doctor or pharmacist before starting Olmesartán/Amlodipino/Hidroclorotiazida Stada.

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

  • an angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor (ACE inhibitor) (e.g., enalapril, lisinopril, ramipril), especially 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 the information under the heading “DO NOT take Olmesartán/Amlodipino/Hidroclorotiazida Stada”.

Tell your doctor if you have any of the following health conditions:

  • kidney problems or a kidney transplant
  • liver disease
  • heart failure or problems with heart valves or heart muscle
  • severe vomiting, diarrhea, treatment with high doses of medicines that increase urine elimination (diuretics), or if you are on a low-salt diet
  • high levels of potassium in the blood
  • problems with the adrenal glands (hormone-producing glands located above the kidneys)
  • diabetes
  • lupus erythematosus (an autoimmune disease)
  • allergy or asthma
  • skin reactions such as sunburn or rash after sun exposure or use of sunbeds
  • 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 skin and lip cancer (non-melanoma skin cancer). Protect your skin from exposure to sunlight and UV rays while taking olmesartán/amlodipino/hidroclorotiazida.

Contact your doctor if you experience any of the following symptoms:

  • severe, persistent diarrhea causing significant weight loss. Your doctor will assess your symptoms and decide how to proceed with your blood pressure treatment
  • vision changes 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 from hours to weeks after taking olmesartán/amlodipino/hidroclorotiazida. This may lead to permanent vision impairment if not treated.
  • 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 olmesartán/amlodipino/hidroclorotiazida, seek medical attention immediately.

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

As with any other medicine that lowers blood pressure, excessive reduction in blood pressure in patients with impaired blood flow to the heart or brain may cause a heart attack or stroke. Therefore, your doctor will carefully monitor your blood pressure.

Olmesartán/amlodipino/hidroclorotiazida may increase blood levels of lipids and uric acid (which causes gout – painful joint swelling). Your doctor may want to perform periodic blood tests to monitor these potential changes.

Changes in blood levels of certain chemicals called electrolytes may occur. Your doctor may want to perform periodic blood tests to monitor this possible change. Some signs of electrolyte imbalances are: thirst, dry mouth, muscle pain or cramps, tired muscles, low blood pressure (hypotension), feeling weak, slow, tired, sleepy, restless, nausea, vomiting, reduced need to urinate, rapid heartbeat. Tell your doctor if you notice any of these symptoms.

If you are scheduled for parathyroid function tests, you must stop taking olmesartán/amlodipino/hidroclorotiazida before the tests are performed.

Athletes should be aware that this medicine contains a component that may lead to a positive analytical finding in doping controls.

Inform your doctor if you are pregnant (or think you might be). Use of olmesartán/amlodipino/hidroclorotiazida is not recommended early in pregnancy, and it must not be taken if you are more than 3 months pregnant, as it may cause serious harm to your baby if taken at this stage (see section “Pregnancy and breastfeeding”).

Children and adolescents (under 18 years of age)

The use of olmesartán/amlodipino/hidroclorotiazida is not recommended in children and adolescents under 18 years of age.
