viacoram is indicated for treatment of idiopathic hypertension in adults.

Pharmacokology

Viacoram drugs combine two anti -hypertension drugs with a supportive mechanism to control blood pressure in patients with idiopathic hypertension: Amlodipine belongs to the group of antagonists of calcium and Perindopril of Angiotensin (ACEI).

The combination of these two drugs has the effect of plus blood pressure.

perindopril

Perindopril is an angiotensin I to angiotensin II inhibitor. Men (Kinase) is an external peptidase, which allows the conversion of angiotensin I to angiotensin II to have vascular effects, degenerating Bradykinin causing vascular dilatation into inactivated heptide.

The drug that causes Angiotensin II in plasma, leading to increased lenin activity in plasma (due to inhibition of reverse feedback phenomenon of renaginated) and reducing aldosteron secretion. Because the angiotensin transfer enzymes cause Bradykinin inactivity, resulting in the effect of the Kallikrein - Kinin system on the spot and during the circulation (and therefore also has the effect of activating the prostaglandin system). This mechanism may be associated with the hypotension effect of enzyme inhibitors (Acei) and causes some unwanted effects of the drug (cough).

Perindopril works through active metabolites as Perindoprilat. Other metabolites do not show the inhibition effect of in vitro.

amlodipin

Amlodipine inhibits the calcium ionic line of the dihydropyridine group (slow channel blockage or calcium ions) and inhibit the calcium ionic flow through the membrane into the myocardial cell and smooth muscles into blood vessels.The anti -hypertension mechanism of amlodipine is due to the effect of directly relaxing smooth muscle walls into blood vessels. The exact mechanism of relieving angina of amlodipine has not been fully determined but amlodipine reduces the risk of ischemia by two mechanisms:

  • Amlodipin relaxes peripheral arteries, thus reducing peripheral resistance (post -burden) against the activity of the heart. Because the heart rate is maintained stably, this effect reduces the consumption of energy and oxygen needs of the heart muscle. This vasodilation effect increases oxygen supply to the heart muscle on patients with coronary artery spasms (Prinzmetal angina or altered angina).

    absorption

    After drinking, Perindopril is quickly absorbed and the peak concentration is reached within 1 hour. Perindopril's waste sale time in plasma is 1 hour.

    Perindopril is a pharmacy. 27% of the dose of Perindopril circulates in the blood in the form of an active metabolite is Perindoprilat. There are also 5 other metabolites that are not active. Perindoprilat's peak concentration in plasma is achieved after 3-4 hours.

    Due to the digestion of food, it reduces the conversion of Perindoprilat, reduces bioavailability, so drink Perindopril Arginin once a single day in the morning before meals.

    Perindopril dose and the concentration of drugs in plasma are linearly related.

    Distribution

    Perindoprilat distribution volume is not attached to protein at about 0.2 liters/kg. 20% Perindoprilat is attached to plasma proteins, mainly with angiotensin transfer enzymes, but regardless of concentration.

    Elimination

    Perindoprilat is eliminated through the urine and the semi -ending time of the non -mounted phase is about 17 hours, so the concentration in a stable state is achieved within 4 days.

    amlodipin

    absorption, distribution

    After drinking with treatment, Amlodipine is well absorbed, the peak concentration is within 6 - 12 hours after drinking. The absolute bioavailability of the drug is about 64 - 80%. The distribution volume is about 21 liters/kg. In vitro, about 97.5% amlodipine attached to plasma proteins.

    Amlodipine's bioavailability is not affected by food.

    Metabolism, excretion

    Sell phase waste time in plasma is about 35-50 hours and suitable for 1 time/day. Amlodipine is strongly metabolized in the liver into an inactive metabolic substance. 10% of the mother medicine and 60% of the metabolite excreted through the urine.

  • Before taking Viacoram medicine 7mg/5mg Servier Treatment of hypertension (30 tablets)

    How to use

    Should use Viacoram in the form of single dose, best to drink in the morning and before eating.

    Dosage

    Adults

    Viacoram 3.5 mg/2.5 mg was first treated right after detecting disease in arterial hypertension patients. The recommended starting dose is 3.5 mg/2.5 mg, 1 time/day.

    After at least 4 weeks of treatment, the dose can increase to 7 mg/5 mg, 1 time/day in patients who have not been fully controlled with blood pressure with Viacoram 3.5 mg/2.5 mg.

    Patients with renal failure

    CLCR

    CLCR is from 30 - 60 ml/minute: The recommended starting dose is 3.5 mg/2.5 mg for daily spaces. In patients with blood pressure is not fully controlled, the dose of 3.5 mg/2.5 mg can be used, 1 time/day. If necessary, the patient can be increased if the blood pressure is not controlled well. Need to monitor creatinine and potassium regularly.

    Patients with liver failure

    Caution with patients with severe liver failure.

    Elderly

    Viacoram's efficiency and safety has been established in the elderly. Precautions when starting the kidney function.

    After starting, monitoring the kidney function before increasing the dose, especially in patients ≥ 75 years old. Need to monitor creatinine and potassium regularly.

    Children

    Safety and effectiveness of Viacoram in children under 18 have not been set up.

    Note: The above dose is for reference only. Specific dosage depends on the condition and level of progression of the disease. For a suitable dose, you need to consult a doctor or medical specialist.What do

    do when overdose? In Amlodipin, the overdose experience in people is limited.

    Symptoms

    Serious overdose can lead to excessive peripheral vasodilation and causing reflected tachycardia. Hypoglycemic body blood pressure is noticeable and can extend to the shock level, which can lead to deaths.

    With Perindopril, data overdose is limited. Acei overdose symptoms may include hypotension, circulating shock, electrolyte disorders, kidney failure, respiratory increase, tachycardia, chest, slow rhythm, dizziness, anxiety and cough.

    Treatment

    Clinically clear hypotension due to amlodipine overdose requires heart support activities including regular heart monitoring and respiratory function, edema, circulatory volume and urine amount.

    Use vasoconstrictor drugs to restore vascular tone and blood pressure in the absence of contraindications. Venous calcium gluconate can be effective against the effect of calcium channel blockers.

    Gastric lavage may be valid in some cases. On healthy people, use activated carbon for up to 2 hours after using amlodipine 10 mg reduces the absorption rate of amlodipine. Dialysis is ineffective due to amlodipine attached to plasma proteins.

    Perindopril overdose treatment is recommended to be is the isothermal salt solution. If hypotension appears, the patient should be in the shock posture. If possible, consider Angiotensin II transmission and/or intravenous catecholamine. Perindopril can completely remove the circulation by dialysis. Create a bradycardia does not respond to treatment. Continue to monitor the signs of survival, concentration of electrolytes and serum creatinine.

    What to do when you forget a dose? However, if close to the next dose, skip the forgotten dose and take the next dose at the time as planned. Do not drink twice as prescribed.

    Side Effects

    When using Viacoram often has unwanted effects (ADR).

    Common, ADR> 1/100

  • Nervous system: Dizziness (usually in the beginning of treatment).
  • Respiratory, chest and mediastinum: cough.
  • In place: edema.
  • Uncommon, 1/1000

  • Metabolism: hyperkalemia, hyperglycemia.
  • Skin: Diverse roses.

    Other: tired.

    Instructions on how to handle ADR

    When experiencing side effects of the drug, it is necessary to stop using and notify the doctor or go to the nearest medical facility for timely treatment.

    Warnings

    Before using the drug you need to read the instructions carefully and refer to the information below.

    Contraindicated

    Viacoram is contraindicated in the following cases:

  • Hypersensitivity to the active ingredient, angiotensin transferring enzyme inhibitors, dihydropyridine derivatives or any excipients ingredients.
  • Hypotension is severe.
  • Treatment of the body leads to blood exposure to negative charge surfaces.

    Caution when using

    Hypersensitivity, eagown

    Fantasia on the face, limb, lips, mucosa, tongue, bar, larynx rarely appear in patients using Perindopril. If this phenomenon occurs, Viacoram should be stopped immediately and takes appropriate and continuous monitoring measures until these symptoms are completely over. In general, the phenomenon of local and lips swelling is often cured without treatment, although antihistamine drugs can reduce symptoms.

    Laryngeal -related angioema can be fatal. When the tongue, the subject or the larynx can cause obstruction of the respiratory tract, emergency should be immediately rescued (using adrenaline with or not accompanied by measures to ventilate the airway). Monitor the patient closely until the symptoms of recitation.

    Patients with a history of angioedema because ACEI drugs may increase the risk of angioed with vascular use when using viacoram.

    Evaluation in the intestinal tract rarely appear in patients with ACEI drugs. Manifestations: abdominal pain (with or without nausea, vomiting); In some cases, there is no previous edema and C - 1 esterase concentration is normal. Evaluation is diagnosed with abdominal CT scan, or ultrasound or during surgery and regression of symptoms after stopping ACEI. The intestinal angioedema should be considered in distinguished diagnosis in patients with ACEI drugs with abdominal pain.

    Anaphylactic reactions during the sensitivity process

    Patients taking Acei drugs during the treatment of sensitivity (membrane venom) have encountered anaphylactic reactions.

    leukopenia, grain leukemia, thrombocytopenia, anemia

    The above manifestations have been recorded in patients with ACEI drugs. Rarely reduced leukopenia in patients with normal renal function and no other complex factors. Especially cautious when using Viacoram for patients with collagen vascular disease, patients are treating immunosuppressive, treatment with allopurinol or process, or combining these risk factors, especially if the patient has previously impaired renal function. Some patients have severe infections, sometimes not responding to the treatment of positive antibiotics. Periodic monitoring of leukocytes and patients should notify any signs of infection (sore throat, fever).

    Double blockade of Renin - Angiotensin - Aldosteron (RAAS)

    Simultaneous use of Acei, Angiotensin II or Aliskiren receptor inhibitors increases the risk of hypotension, hyperkalemia and impaired renal function (including acute renal failure). It is not recommended to combine these drugs due to the dual blockade of the RAAS system.

    If the dual blockade therapy is needed, only under the supervision of the expert and need to closely monitor regular kidney, electrolyte and blood pressure.

    Acei drugs and Angiotensin II receptor inhibitors should not be used simultaneously in patients with diabetes.

    Patient with primary Aldosteron

    It is not recommended to use Viacoram in primary Aldosteron patients due to non -response to anti -hypertension drugs that operate through inhibition of the Renin - Angiotensin system.

    Patients with renal impairment - Hypertension of kidney

    Contraindicated in patients with severe renal failure (CLCR

    In some patients with nephrotic stenosis on both sides or one side treated with ACEI drugs, there has been a phenomenon of increased blood urea and serum creatinine, often recovered after stopping the drug. This is easy to happen in patients with renal failure. The risk of severe hypotension and renal failure increases if there is signs of hypertension - renal vessels. Some patients with hypertension do not show signs of previous kidney disease, which have increased blood urea and creatinine, often mild and transient, especially when concurrent Perindopril and diuretics. This is more likely to happen in patients with impaired renal function.

    Amlodipin may be used for patients with renal impairment at normal doses. Amlodipine cannot be removed by dialysis.

    Do not recommend using Viacoram in patients with kidney transplant.

    Increased risk of hypotension and renal failure in patients with narrowed kidney stenosis or artery stenosis in one kidney undertake the remaining function when treated with Acei. Treatment with diuretics may be a combination agent. The impaired renal function may occur with only a small change in serum creatinine even in patients with kidney stenosis on the one hand.

    Patients with impaired liver function

    Acei drugs are rarely related to the syndrome that starts with cholestasis and progress to serious liver necrosis and (sometimes) death. The mechanism of this syndrome is unclear. Patients with jaundice and significant liver enzymes should stop using Viacoram and appropriate medical monitoring.

    In patients with impaired liver function, Amlodipine's exhaust time is prolonged and higher AUC.

    Hypertension

    Safety and effectiveness of amlodipine on unknown hypertension.

    Patients with heart failure

    Be cautious when using viacoram for patients with congestion heart failure, as amlodipine can increase the risk of cardiovascular and death.

    Hypotension

    Acei drugs can cause hypotension. This symptom is rare in patients with non -complicated hypertension and is likely to appear more in patients with reduced circulatory volume or serious hypertension patients dependent on renin. Closely monitor kidney function and serum potassium concentration in patients with high risk of lowering blood pressure during Viacoram treatment.

    Similar consideration for patients with myocardial oral disease, excessive hypotension can lead to myocardial infarction or stroke.

    If hypotension, the patient is on the back and if necessary, NaCl 9 mg/ml (0.9%) should be transmitted. Hypotension is not contraindicated for the next dose, the next dose can be used normally when the blood pressure has increased after the collection of circulating mass.

    Patient with mitral stenosis and output clogged of left ventricle

    Be cautious when taking Acei medication for patients with mitral stenosis and congestion of left ventricular (aortic stenosis or hypertrophic cardiomyopathy).

    Skin color

    Acei drug increases the angioed and less voltage effect in black skin patients than other skin -colored patients.

    dry cough

    may have persistent dry cough but will end when stopping using viacoram.

    Patients with surgery/anesthesia

    In patients undergoing major surgery or when anesthesia uses drugs that cause hypotension, Perindopril may inhibit the formation of secondary angiotensin II to compensate for released Renin. Should stop the medicine before surgery 1 day. If hypotension is caused by this mechanism, it is necessary to adjust by increasing the volume of circulation.

    Hemorrhage

    Acei medicine can cause hyperkalemia. Risk factors include: renal failure, impaired renal function, over 70 years old, diabetes, events that occur simultaneously, especially dehydration, acute heart loss, metabolic acidosis and simultaneous use with potassium -keeping diuretics, potassium -containing products or replacement salts containing potassium; Or patients taking drugs that increase blood potassium (heparin, other ACEI drugs, Angiotensin II antagonists, acetylsalicyclic acid> 3 g/day, COX - 2 inhibitors, non -selective NSAID drugs, immunosuppressants such as ciclosporin or tacrolimus, trimethoprim).

    Using these drugs, especially in patients with impaired renal function, can significantly increase serum potassium. Hyperboly hyperpass can cause serious arrhythmia, sometimes leading to death. If the coordination of Viacoram with any of the above drugs is really necessary, should be cautious and regularly monitor blood potassium concentration.

    Patients with diabetes

    In patients with diabetes treated with oral or insulin anti -diabetes, strictly controlling blood glucose during the first month of treatment with viacoram.

    The ability to drive and operate machinery

    has not been studied by the effect of Viacoram on driving and operating machinery.

    Perindopril and Amlodipin may have a slightly affected on average on the ability to drive and operate machinery. If the patient has dizziness, headache, fatigue, exhaustion or nausea, the ability to react may be impaired.

    Caution recommendations when using viacoram, especially when starting treatment.

    pregnancy

    do not recommend using viacoram for the first 3 months of pregnancy. Contraindications for use in the middle 3 months and the last 3 months of pregnancy.

    Do not start using viacoram during pregnancy. Unless the continued use of Viacoram is considered necessary, the patient is planning to get pregnant, so he switched to another medication to treat hypertension, which had safe data set in pregnant women. When a patient is diagnosed with pregnancy, he should stop immediately treated with Viacoram and should apply another alternative treatment.

    The period of breastfeeding

    is not recommended to use Viacoram during breastfeeding. Therefore, the decision to stop breastfeeding or stop taking the drug is based on the importance of this therapy on the mother.

    Drug interaction

    Increased risk of hyperkalemia when coordinating with viacoram with drugs: Aliskiren, potassium salt, potassium diuretics, Acei drugs, Angiotensin II, NSAIDs, Heparin, immunosuppressants (cyclosporin, tacrolimus, trimethoprim ...).

    Contraindicated to use Viacoram and Aliskiren in patients with diabetes or impaired renal function, the risk of hyperkalemia, worsening kidney function and the incidence of cardiovascular diseases and death due to increased vascular diseases.

    Do not recommend coordination of viacoram and estramutine due to increased risk of adverse effects such as nerveema.

    It is not recommended to use viacoram and lithium due to increased lithes that recover toxic lithium concentrations, but if it is necessary to coordinate, closely monitor serum lithium concentration.

    Due to the risk of hyperkalemia, it is not recommended to coordinate viacoram (containing amlodipine) with intravenous dantrolen in patients who have the ability to increase malignant body temperature and in the treatment of malignant body temperature.

    Combining Acei and diabetes medications can cause blood glucose due to increasing the effect of lowering the glucose effect of the drug. This phenomenon is more common in the first week when combining drugs and on patients with renal failure.

    Combining viacoram with Baclofen increases the effect of lowering blood pressure. Monitoring blood pressure and adjusting the dose of hypotension if necessary.

    Shared Viacoram and diuretics do not hold potassium, especially in patients with reduced volume of circulatory and/or salt loss, which can cause excessive reduction in blood pressure.

    Combining Viacoram and NSAIDS drugs (including aspirin dose ≥ 3G/day) may reduce the effect of lowering blood pressure and increased the risk of impaired kidney function.

    Concomitance use Viacoram with CYP3A4 induction drugs can reduce plasma amlodipine levels; Simultaneous use of viacoram with CYP3A4 inhibitors increases plasma amlodipine levels.

    It is not recommended to use viacoram and grapefruit due to increased bioavailability of amlodipine, increasing the effect of lowering blood pressure.

    Combining viacoram with anesthetic, three -ring antidepressants, anti -psychotic drugs, anti -hypertension drugs and vasodilators (especially with nitroglycerin and nitrate) can cause excessive blood pressure.

    Increased risk of angioedema due to gliptin reduces the effect of dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPP - IV) in patients using ACEI drugs.

    Sympathetic medications can reduce the hypotension effect of Viacoram.

    α, amifostin blockers combine viacoram increases the effect of lowering blood pressure and increases the risk of hypotension.

    Corticosteroids, tetracosactids reduce the hypotension effect of Viacoram.
