Efficacy & effects

Improvement of blood pressure control in essential hypertension

  • Essential hypertension
View approved original text

This medication is suitable for patients with essential hypertension whose blood pressure is not adequately controlled with monotherapy using amlodipine or telmisartan. In other words, it assists in effectively lowering blood pressure when it is not well controlled with a single medication. This, in turn, contributes to the prevention of cardiovascular diseases and improves blood pressure management.

Precautions

This medication can cause serious harm to the fetus when taken during pregnancy, especially in the second and third trimesters, so it should be avoided by women who are pregnant or may become pregnant. It should not be used by patients with allergies to the active ingredients or similar components, severely impaired liver, heart, or kidney function, pregnant women, nursing mothers, and patients with certain heart diseases. Patients with primary aldosteronism, certain heart valve diseases, reduced liver function, gastrointestinal diseases, or problems with renal vasculature should use this medication with caution. Common side effects may include dizziness or peripheral edema, and while serious side effects can occur rarely, any abnormal symptoms should prompt immediate consultation with a physician. This medication should not be initiated during pregnancy, and if pregnancy is confirmed, it should be discontinued as soon as possible. It lowers blood pressure, so patients at risk of hypotension should consult their doctor before taking it. Potassium levels in the blood may increase, so particularly patients with reduced kidney function or heart failure should have their potassium levels monitored regularly. Patients with reduced kidney function should monitor their kidney function and potassium levels periodically while taking this medication, and those with heart disease should observe symptoms carefully. This medication may interact with certain other drugs, so if any other medications are being taken, the physician or pharmacist must be informed. Elderly patients may respond more sensitively to this medication, thus requiring dosage adjustments and careful monitoring. In case of overdose, symptoms such as hypotension, dizziness, and arrhythmias may appear, so immediate medical attention is necessary.
