1. What Olmesartan/Amlodipine/Hydrochlorothiazide Teva is and what it is used for

This medicine contains three active substances: olmesartan medoxomil, amlodipine (as amlodipine besilate), and hydrochlorothiazide. These three substances help control high blood pressure.

  • Olmesartan medoxomil belongs to a group of medicines called “angiotensin II receptor antagonists”, which lower blood pressure by relaxing blood vessels.
  • Amlodipine belongs to a group of medicines called “calcium channel blockers”. Amlodipine also lowers blood pressure by relaxing blood vessels.
  • Hydrochlorothiazide 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.

Olmesartan/amlodipine/hydrochlorothiazide is used to treat high blood pressure:

  • in adult patients whose blood pressure is not adequately controlled with the combination of olmesartan medoxomil and amlodipine taken as a fixed-dose combination, or
  • in adult patients who are already taking a fixed-dose combination of olmesartan medoxomil and hydrochlorothiazide together with tablets containing amlodipine alone, or a fixed-dose combination of olmesartan medoxomil and amlodipine together with tablets containing hydrochlorothiazide alone.

2. What you need to know before taking Olmesartan/Amlodipine/Hydrochlorothiazide Teva

Do not take Olmesartan/Amlodipine/Hydrochlorothiazide Teva

  • if you are allergic to olmesartan 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 olmesartan/amlodipine/hydrochlorothiazide.
  • 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 your blood, high levels of calcium or uric acid (with symptoms of gout or kidney stones) in your blood, which do not improve with treatment.
  • if you are more than 3 months pregnant. (It is also advisable to avoid olmesartan/amlodipine/hydrochlorothiazide in early 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 carrying blood away from the heart are narrowed (aortic stenosis).
  • if you have low cardiac output following a heart attack (acute myocardial infarction). Low cardiac output may cause shortness of breath or swelling in your feet and ankles.

Do not take olmesartan/amlodipine/hydrochlorothiazide if any of the above apply to you.

Warnings and precautions

Talk to your doctor or pharmacist before taking Olmesartan/Amlodipine/Hydrochlorothiazide Teva.

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

  • an angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor (e.g., enalapril, lisinopril, ramipril), 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 the information under the heading “Do not take Olmesartan/Amlodipine/Hydrochlorothiazide Teva”.

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 output (diuretics), or if you are on a low-salt diet.
  • High levels of potassium in your blood.
  • Problems with your 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 this medicine.
  • if you have previously experienced breathing or lung problems (including inflammation or fluid in the lungs) after taking hydrochlorothiazide. If you develop severe shortness of breath or difficulty breathing after taking this medicine, seek immediate medical attention.

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 a few hours to several weeks after taking olmesartan/amlodipine/hydrochlorothiazide. This may lead to permanent vision loss if not treated.

Consult your doctor if you experience abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea after taking Olmesartan/Amlodipine/Hydrochlorothiazide Teva. Your doctor will decide whether to continue treatment. Do not stop taking Olmesartan/amlodipine/hydrochlorothiazide 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 lead to heart attack or stroke. Therefore, your doctor will carefully monitor your blood pressure.

Olmesartan/amlodipine/hydrochlorothiazide may increase blood levels of lipids and uric acid (which causes gout – painful joint swelling). Your doctor may want to perform blood tests periodically to monitor these potential changes.

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

If you are scheduled for parathyroid function tests, you must stop taking this medicine before the tests are performed.

You should inform your doctor if you are pregnant (or think you might be). Use of olmesartan/amlodipine/hydrochlorothiazide is not recommended in early pregnancy, and you must not take it 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”).

Use in athletes

Athletes should be aware that this medicine contains a component that may result in a positive analytical finding in doping control tests.

Children and adolescents (under 18 years of age)

The use of olmesartan/amlodipine/hydrochlorothiazide is not recommended in children and adolescents under 18 years of age.

Taking Olmesartan/Amlodipine/Hydrochlorothiazide Teva with other medicines

Inform your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking, have recently taken, or might need to take any of the following medicines:

  • Other blood pressure-lowering medicines, as they may enhance the effect of olmesartan/amlodipine/hydrochlorothiazide.
  • If you are taking an angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor or aliskiren (see also information under the headings “Do not take Olmesartan/Amlodipine/Hydrochlorothiazide Teva” and “Warnings and precautions”).
  • Lithium (a medicine used to treat mood disorders and certain types of depression) – its toxicity may increase when used together with olmesartan/amlodipine/hydrochlorothiazide. If you have to take lithium, your doctor will monitor lithium blood levels.
  • Diltiazem, verapamil, used for heart rhythm disorders and high blood pressure.
  • Rifampicin, erythromycin, clarithromycin, tetracyclines, or sparfloxacin, antibiotics used for tuberculosis and other infections.
  • St John’s wort (Hypericum perforatum), a herbal remedy for depression.
  • Cisapride, used to increase movement of food through the stomach and intestine.
  • Diphenylhydantoin, used in the treatment of slow heart rate or to reduce sweating.
  • Halofantrine, used for malaria.
  • Vincamine IV, used to improve blood circulation in the nervous system.
  • Amantadine, used for Parkinson’s disease.
  • Potassium supplements, potassium-containing salt substitutes, medicines that increase urine output (diuretics), heparin (to thin blood and prevent blood clots), angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors (to lower blood pressure), laxatives, steroids, adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), carbenoxolone (a medicine for treating mouth and stomach ulcers), sodium penicillin G (an antibiotic also known as sodium benzylpenicillin), some painkillers such as acetylsalicylic acid (“aspirin”) or salicylates. Using these medicines together with olmesartan/amlodipine/hydrochlorothiazide may alter potassium levels in the blood.
  • Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) (medicines used to relieve pain, swelling, and other symptoms of inflammation, including arthritis), used together with olmesartan/amlodipine/hydrochlorothiazide may increase the risk of kidney failure. The effect of olmesartan/amlodipine/hydrochlorothiazide may be reduced by NSAIDs. High doses of salicylates may increase the toxic effect on the central nervous system.
  • Sleeping pills, sedatives, and antidepressants, used together with olmesartan/amlodipine/hydrochlorothiazide may cause a sudden drop in blood pressure upon standing.
  • Colesevelam hydrochloride, a medicine that lowers blood cholesterol levels, which may reduce the effect of olmesartan/amlodipine/hydrochlorothiazide. Your doctor may advise you to take olmesartan/amlodipine/hydrochlorothiazide at least 4 hours before colesevelam hydrochloride.
  • Certain antacids (remedies for indigestion and heartburn), which may slightly reduce the effect of olmesartan/amlodipine/hydrochlorothiazide.
  • Certain muscle relaxants, such as baclofen and tubocurarine.
  • Anticholinergic medicines, such as atropine and biperiden.
  • Calcium supplements.
  • Dantrolene (by infusion for serious body temperature abnormalities).
  • Simvastatin, used to lower cholesterol and fat (triglyceride) levels in the blood.
  • Medicines used to control the body’s immune response (e.g., tacrolimus, sirolimus, temsirolimus, everolimus, and cyclosporine), which help the body accept a transplanted organ.

Inform your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking, have recently taken, or might need to take any of the following medicines for:

  • Treating certain mental disorders, such as thioridazine, chlorpromazine, levomepromazine, trifluoperazine, cyamemazine, sulpiride, amisulpride, pimozide, sultopride, tiapride, droperidol, or haloperidol.
  • Treating low blood sugar (e.g., diazoxide) or high blood pressure (e.g., beta-blockers, methyldopa), since olmesartan/amlodipine/hydrochlorothiazide may affect the mechanism of action of these medicines.
  • Treating heart rhythm disorders, such as mizolastine, pentamidine, terfenadine, dofetilide, ibutilide, or erythromycin injections.
  • Treating HIV/AIDS (e.g., ritonavir, indinavir, nelfinavir).
  • Treating fungal infections (e.g., ketoconazole, itraconazole, amphotericin).
  • Treating heart problems, such as quinidine, hydroquinidine, disopyramide, amiodarone, sotalol, bepridil, or digitalis.
  • Treating cancer, such as amifostine, cyclophosphamide, or methotrexate.
  • Increasing blood pressure and decreasing heart rate, such as noradrenaline.
  • Treating gout, such as probenecid, sulfinpyrazone, and allopurinol.
  • Lowering blood fat levels, such as cholestyramine and colestipol.

Taking Olmesartan/Amlodipine/Hydrochlorothiazide Teva with food and drinks

This medicine can be taken with or without food.

People taking olmesartan/amlodipine/hydrochlorothiazide should not consume grapefruit or grapefruit juice. This is because grapefruit and grapefruit juice may increase blood levels of the active ingredient amlodipine, which could cause an unpredictable increase in the hypotensive effect of olmesartan/amlodipine/hydrochlorothiazide.

Be cautious when drinking alcohol while taking this medicine, as some people may experience dizziness or fainting. If this happens, do not consume alcohol.

Elderly patients

If you are over 65 years old, your doctor will regularly monitor your blood pressure each time your dose is increased, to ensure that your blood pressure does not drop too much.

Pregnancy and breastfeeding

Pregnancy

Inform your doctor if you are pregnant or think you might be. Your doctor will advise you to stop taking olmesartan/amlodipine/hydrochlorothiazide before becoming pregnant or as soon as you know you are pregnant, and will recommend an alternative medicine. Use of this medicine is not recommended during pregnancy, and it must not be taken after the third month of pregnancy, as it may cause serious harm to your baby if used from the third month of pregnancy onward.

If you become pregnant while being treated with olmesartan/amlodipine/hydrochlorothiazide, inform and see your doctor immediately.

Breastfeeding

Inform your doctor if you are breastfeeding or about to start breastfeeding. It has been shown that amlodipine and hydrochlorothiazide pass into breast milk in small amounts. Olmesartan/amlodipine/hydrochlorothiazide is not recommended for breastfeeding mothers, and your doctor may choose an alternative treatment if you wish to breastfeed.

If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, think you may be pregnant, or plan to become pregnant, consult your doctor or pharmacist before using this medicine.

Driving and using machines

You may feel drowsy, unwell, dizzy, or have a headache while being treated for high blood pressure. If this occurs, do not drive or operate machinery until symptoms have resolved. Consult your doctor.

This medicine contains:

Sodium

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

Lactose
