Efficacy & effects

Improvement of blood pressure control in essential hypertension

  • Essential hypertension
View approved original text

This medication is used for patients with essential hypertension for whom blood pressure control is difficult with amlodipine or valsartan monotherapy alone. It helps to control blood pressure more effectively and reduce the risk of complications when monotherapy does not sufficiently lower blood pressure.

Precautions

This drug can cause serious harm to the fetus if taken during the second and third trimesters of pregnancy, so it must be discontinued immediately if pregnancy is confirmed. Women who are pregnant, potentially pregnant, or breastfeeding should not take this medication. Patients allergic to this medication's active ingredients or similar drugs should not take it. Patients with severe kidney or liver disease, certain heart conditions, or in a state of shock should also avoid using this medication. Patients with low sodium or fluid levels in the body may experience hypotension, so their condition should be carefully checked before taking this medication and blood pressure should be monitored closely during treatment. Patients with elevated potassium levels should frequently check their potassium levels when taking this medication alongside other drugs that may increase potassium. Patients with renal artery issues or recent kidney transplant recipients should carefully monitor their kidney function while using this medication. If symptoms of angioedema occur, the medication should be discontinued immediately and not reapplied. Patients recovering from heart failure or myocardial infarction should closely monitor their renal function while taking this medication. Caution is advised during driving or operating machinery, as dizziness or fatigue may occur. This medication may interact with other blood pressure medications or specific drugs, so it's important to consult a physician or pharmacist if other medications are being taken. Overdose may lead to hypotension, dizziness, or in severe cases, shock, necessitating immediate medical assistance.
