1. What Roxiper is and what it is used for
Roxiper is a combination of three active substances: rosuvastatin, perindopril, and indapamide.
Rosuvastatin belongs to a group of medicines called statins. Perindopril is an ACE inhibitor
(angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor). Indapamide is a diuretic.
Rosuvastatin helps control high cholesterol levels. Perindopril and indapamide help
control high blood pressure (hypertension).
Roxiper is prescribed for the treatment of high blood pressure (hypertension)
and concomitant high cholesterol levels. Patients who are already taking rosuvastatin,
perindopril, and indapamide as separate tablets may instead take a single Roxiper tablet
containing all three components.
2. Important information before using Roxiper
When not to use Roxiper
- If the patient is allergic to rosuvastatin, perindopril, or any other ACE inhibitor, or to indapamide, or any other sulphonamide-containing medicine, or to any of the other ingredients of this medicine (listed in section 6);
- if the patient has previously experienced symptoms such as wheezing, facial or tongue swelling, intense itching or severe skin rashes while taking ACE inhibitors, or if such symptoms occurred in the patient or a family member under any other circumstances (a condition known as angioedema);
- if the patient has diabetes or kidney problems and is being treated with a blood pressure-lowering medicine containing aliskiren;
- in case of low blood potassium levels;
- in patients with suspected untreated or unbalanced heart failure (symptoms may include fluid retention and difficulty breathing);
- if the patient has severe kidney disease resulting in reduced blood supply to the kidneys (renal artery stenosis);
- if the patient is undergoing dialysis or another form of blood filtration. Depending on the device used, Roxiper may not be suitable for the patient;
- if the patient has liver disease or a condition called hepatic encephalopathy (a brain disorder caused by liver disease);
- if the patient has severe kidney impairment (creatinine clearance below 30 ml/min);
- if the patient has moderate kidney impairment (creatinine clearance 30–60 ml/min) when using Roxiper 10 mg/8 mg/2.5 mg or 20 mg/8 mg/2.5 mg;
- if the patient has experienced recurrent or unexplained muscle pain;
- if the patient is taking the combination of sofosbuvir/velpatasvir/voxilaprevir (used to treat viral hepatitis C);
- if the patient is taking cyclosporine (used, for example, after organ transplantation);
- if the patient is pregnant or breastfeeding. If pregnancy occurs while taking Roxiper, treatment must be stopped immediately and the doctor informed. Women of childbearing potential should use effective contraception during treatment with Roxiper;
- if the patient has taken or is currently taking sacubitril with valsartan, a medicine used to treat certain types of chronic heart failure in adults, because this increases the risk of angioedema (rapid swelling of tissues under the skin, such as in the throat). See "Warnings and precautions" and "Roxiper with other medicines".
Warnings and precautions
Before starting treatment with Roxiper, discuss the following with your doctor or pharmacist:
- if the patient has aortic valve stenosis (narrowing of the main artery leaving the heart), hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (a heart muscle disorder), or renal artery stenosis (narrowing of the artery supplying blood to the kidney);
- if the patient has heart failure or any other heart conditions;
- if the patient has kidney disease or is undergoing dialysis;
- if the patient has muscle disorders, including pain, tenderness, weakness, or cramps;
- if the patient has abnormally high levels of a hormone called aldosterone in the blood (primary hyperaldosteronism);
- if the patient has liver disease;
- if the patient has connective tissue disorders (skin diseases), such as systemic lupus erythematosus or systemic sclerosis;
- if the patient has ever experienced severe skin rash, skin peeling, blisters, and/or oral ulcers after taking Roxiper or similar medicines;
- if the patient has severe respiratory insufficiency;
- if the patient has excessive acid levels in the blood, which may cause rapid breathing;
- if the patient is on a low-salt diet or uses salt substitutes containing potassium;
- if the patient is taking lithium or potassium-sparing diuretics (spironolactone, triamterene) or potassium supplements, as these should be avoided with Roxiper (see "Roxiper with other medicines");
- if the patient has hyperparathyroidism;
- if the patient has gout;
- if the patient is elderly and the dose needs to be increased;
- if the patient has previously had photosensitivity reactions;
- if the patient develops a severe allergic reaction with swelling of the face, lips, mouth, tongue, or throat, which may cause difficulty swallowing or breathing (angioedema) – swelling may occur at any time during treatment. If such symptoms occur, stop treatment and seek immediate medical attention;
- if the patient has diabetes;
- if the thyroid gland is not functioning properly;
- if the patient has atherosclerosis (hardening of the arterial walls);
- if the patient is of Asian descent (Japanese, Chinese, Filipino, Vietnamese, Korean, or Indian). The doctor should select an appropriate starting dose of perindopril, indapamide, and rosuvastatin for the patient;
- angioedema (swelling of the face, lips, mouth, tongue, or throat, possibly causing difficulty swallowing or breathing) occurs more frequently in black patients, and the medicine may be less effective in lowering blood pressure;
- if the patient is undergoing dialysis with high-flux membranes;
- if the patient has recurrent or unexplained muscle pain, if muscle pain occurred previously in the patient or their family, or if muscle disorders occurred in the past while taking other cholesterol-lowering medicines. If unexplained muscle pain occurs, especially with malaise or fever, contact the doctor immediately. If the patient experiences persistent muscle weakness, they should also contact the doctor;
- if the patient has or has had myasthenia (a disease causing general muscle weakness, including in some cases muscles involved in breathing) or ocular myasthenia (a disease causing weakness of the eye muscles), as statins may sometimes worsen symptoms or trigger myasthenia (see section 4);
- if the patient is taking other medicines called fibrates to lower cholesterol or any other cholesterol-lowering medicines (such as ezetimibe). Read the leaflet carefully, even if the patient has taken other cholesterol-lowering medicines before;
- if the patient is taking medicines used to treat HIV infection, e.g. ritonavir with lopinavir and/or atazanavir, see section "Roxiper with other medicines";
- if the patient regularly consumes large amounts of alcohol;
- if the patient is taking any of the following medicines for high blood pressure:
- an angiotensin II receptor antagonist (AIIRA), also known as a sartan (e.g. valsartan, telmisartan, irbesartan), especially if the patient has kidney problems related to diabetes,
- aliskiren. The doctor may recommend regular monitoring of kidney function, blood pressure, and blood electrolyte levels (e.g. potassium) at regular intervals. See also the section "When not to use Roxiper".
If the patient has taken or is currently taking fusidic acid (a medicine used to treat infections), orally or by injection, within the last seven days. Combining fusidic acid with rosuvastatin may lead to severe muscle damage (rhabdomyolysis).
If the patient is taking any of the following medicines, the risk of angioedema increases:
- racecadotril (used to treat diarrhoea),
- sirolimus, everolimus, temsirolimus, and other medicines belonging to the so-called mTOR inhibitors (used to prevent organ transplant rejection and to treat cancer),
- linagliptin, saxagliptin, sitagliptin, vildagliptin, and other medicines belonging to the group of drugs called gliptins (medicines used to treat diabetes).
Angioedema
Angioedema (a severe allergic reaction with swelling of the face, lips, tongue, or throat and difficulty swallowing or breathing) has been reported in patients treated with ACE inhibitors, including Roxiper. This reaction may occur at any time during treatment. If such symptoms occur, stop taking Roxiper immediately and contact a doctor without delay. See also section 4.
Serious skin reactions, including Stevens-Johnson syndrome and drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (DRESS), have been reported with the use of Roxiper. If any of the symptoms described in section 4 occur, stop taking Roxiper and contact a doctor immediately.
Pregnancy must be reported to the doctor, if suspected or planned. Roxiper is not recommended during early pregnancy and must not be taken beyond the third month of pregnancy, as it may seriously harm the unborn child (see "Pregnancy and breastfeeding").
Inform your doctor or healthcare provider if you are taking Roxiper in the following situations:
- if a dry cough develops;
- before planned anaesthesia and/or surgery;
- after recent diarrhoea, vomiting, or dehydration;
- before planned dialysis or LDL cholesterol apheresis (a procedure to remove cholesterol from the blood using a special device);
- before planned desensitisation treatment for bee or wasp venom;
- before a diagnostic procedure involving intravenous administration of iodine-containing contrast agents (a substance used to visualise organs such as kidneys or the stomach on X-ray images);
- if vision disturbances or pain in one or both eyes occur. These may be symptoms of fluid accumulation in the avascular membrane surrounding the eye (excessive fluid accumulation between the choroid and sclera) or glaucoma, increased pressure in one or both eyes – these may occur from a few hours to weeks after taking Roxiper. Untreated, this may lead to permanent vision loss. Patients with a history of allergy to sulphonamides or penicillin may be at higher risk of developing this condition. Roxiper should be discontinued and medical advice sought.
Athletes should be aware that Roxiper contains an active substance (indapamide) that may lead to a positive result in doping tests.
In a small number of people, statins may affect the liver. This can be detected by a simple blood test showing increased liver enzyme activity. Therefore, the doctor usually performs blood tests (liver function tests) before and during treatment with Roxiper.
Patients with diabetes or at risk of developing diabetes will remain under close medical supervision during treatment with this medicine. Individuals with high blood sugar and fat levels, overweight, and high blood pressure may be at risk of developing diabetes.
Children and adolescents
Roxiper must not be used in children and adolescents.

- if the patient is taking an angiotensin II receptor antagonist (AIIRA) or aliskiren (see also sections "When not to use Roxiper" and "Warnings and precautions").
Roxiper with food and drink
Roxiper should be taken before a meal.
Pregnancy and breastfeeding
Do not take Roxiper during pregnancy or while breastfeeding.
Pregnancy
Inform your doctor if you are pregnant, suspect you may be pregnant, or are planning pregnancy. If pregnancy occurs while taking Roxiper, stop taking the medicine immediately and contact your doctor. The doctor will usually recommend discontinuing Roxiper before planned pregnancy or as soon as possible after pregnancy is confirmed, and will advise taking an alternative medicine instead. Women of childbearing potential should use effective contraception during treatment with Roxiper.
Before taking any medicine, consult your doctor or pharmacist.
Breastfeeding
Inform your doctor if you are breastfeeding or planning to breastfeed. Roxiper is contraindicated during breastfeeding.
Contact your doctor immediately.
Driving and operating machinery
Roxiper does not affect alertness, but the patient may experience dizziness or weakness due to low blood pressure, which may affect the ability to drive or operate machinery. It is recommended not to drive or operate machinery until the effect of Roxiper on the patient is known.
3. How to use Roxiper
This medicine should always be taken as directed by your doctor or pharmacist. If in
doubt, consult your doctor or pharmacist.
The recommended dose is one tablet once daily. It is recommended to take the tablet in the morning, before a meal.
The tablet should be swallowed with a glass of water.
Your doctor will determine the correct dose of Roxiper. Roxiper is intended for patients
who are already taking rosuvastatin, perindopril and indapamide in separate tablets.
Taking more Roxiper than recommended
If you have taken too many tablets, contact your doctor immediately or go to the nearest hospital emergency department.
The most likely symptom of overdose is low blood pressure. In the event of a significant drop in blood pressure
(symptoms such as dizziness or fainting), lie down on your back with your legs
elevated above the level of your torso.
Missing a dose of Roxiper
It is important to take the medicine every day, because the effectiveness of hypertension treatment depends on
regular medication use. However, if you miss a dose of Roxiper, take the next dose at your usual time.
Do not take a double dose to make up for a missed dose.
Stopping Roxiper
As treatment for high blood pressure usually lasts for life, you should consult your doctor before stopping treatment.
If you have any further questions regarding the use of this medicine, consult your doctor or pharmacist.
4. Possible adverse reactions
Like any medicine, this medicine may cause adverse reactions, although not everyone will experience them.
