1. What is Elestar HCT and what is it used for

Elestar HCT contains three active substances called olmesartan medoxomil, amlodipine (as besylate) and hydrochlorothiazide. All three substances help to lower 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 antagonists. It also lowers blood pressure by relaxing blood vessels.
  • Hydrochlorothiazide belongs to a group of medicines called thiazide diuretics, which lower blood pressure by removing excess fluid from the body through the urine.

The action of these substances results in a decrease in blood pressure. Elestar HCT is used to treat high blood pressure:

  • in adult patients whose blood pressure is not adequately controlled by the combination of olmesartan medoxomil and amlodipine taken as a two-component product, or
  • in patients who are taking a combination product containing olmesartan medoxomil and hydrochlorothiazide and amlodipine in a separate preparation or a combination product containing olmesartan medoxomil and amlodipine and hydrochlorothiazide in a separate preparation.

2. Important information before taking Elestar HCT

When not to take Elestar HCT

  • after the third month of pregnancy (the patient should also avoid taking Elestar HCT in early pregnancy - see "Pregnancy and breastfeeding").

Elestar HCT should not be taken if any of the above situations apply to the patient.

Warnings and precautions

Before starting treatment with Elestar HCT, the patient should discuss it with their doctor or pharmacist.
The patient should tell their doctorif they are taking any of the following medicines used to treat high blood pressure:

  • an angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor (e.g. enalapril, lisinopril, ramipril), especially if the patient has kidney problems related to diabetes.
  • aliskiren.

The doctor may recommend regular monitoring of kidney function, blood pressure and electrolyte levels (e.g. potassium) in the blood.
See also the section "When not to take Elestar HCT".
The patient should tell their doctorif they have any of the following conditions:

  • Kidney problems or a history of kidney transplant;
  • Liver disease;
  • Heart failure or problems with heart valves or heart muscle;
  • Severe vomiting, diarrhea, treatment with high doses of diuretics or a low-salt diet;
  • High potassium levels in the blood;
  • Adrenal gland problems (glands that produce hormones, located above the kidneys);
  • Diabetes;
  • Systemic lupus erythematosus (an autoimmune disease);
  • Allergy or asthma;
  • Skin reactions, such as sunburn or rash caused by sunlight or artificial light (solarium);
  • If the patient has a history of skin cancer or if an unexpected skin change occurs during treatment. Treatment with hydrochlorothiazide, especially in high doses and for a long time, may increase the risk of certain types of skin cancer and lip cancer (non-melanoma skin cancer). During treatment with Elestar HCT, the patient should protect their skin from sunlight and UV radiation;
  • If the patient has a history of breathing or lung problems after taking hydrochlorothiazide (including pneumonia or fluid accumulation in the lungs). If the patient experiences severe shortness of breath or difficulty breathing after taking Elestar HCT, they should seek medical help immediately.

The patient should contact their doctorif they experience any of the following symptoms:

  • Severe, persistent diarrhea that causes significant weight loss. The doctor may assess the symptoms and decide how to continue blood pressure treatment.
  • Blurred vision or eye pain. These may be symptoms of fluid accumulation in the vascular layer surrounding the eye (excessive fluid accumulation between the choroid and sclera) or increased pressure inside the eye - they can occur within a few hours to a few weeks after taking Elestar HCT. If left untreated, they can cause permanent vision loss

If the patient experiences stomach pain, nausea, vomiting or diarrhea after taking Elestar HCT, they should discuss it with their doctor. The doctor will decide on further treatment. The patient should not stop taking Elestar HCT on their own.
As with other blood pressure-lowering medicines, excessive lowering of blood pressure in patients with circulatory problems in the heart or brain may lead to a heart attack or stroke. Therefore, the doctor will recommend careful monitoring of blood pressure in such patients.
Elestar HCT may increase lipid and uric acid levels in the blood (a cause of gout - a painful swelling of the joints). The doctor will likely recommend periodic blood tests to check these levels.
Taking Elestar HCT may affect the patient's electrolyte balance. The doctor will likely recommend periodic blood tests to check electrolyte levels. Symptoms of electrolyte disturbances include: thirst, dryness of the mucous membranes, muscle pain or cramps, muscle weakness, low blood pressure (hypotension), weakness, apathy, fatigue, drowsiness or restlessness, nausea, vomiting, decreased urine output, rapid heartbeat. If such symptoms occur, the patient should inform their doctor.
Elestar HCT should be discontinued before parathyroid function tests are performed.
The patient should inform their doctor if they suspect or plan to become pregnant. It is not recommended to take Elestar HCT during pregnancy and it should not be taken after the third month of pregnancy, as it may seriously harm the fetus (see "Pregnancy and breastfeeding").

Children and adolescents (under 18 years)

Elestar HCT is not recommended for children and adolescents under 18 years of age.

The patient should tell their doctor or pharmacist about all medicines they are currently taking or have recently taken, as well as any medicines they plan to take:

  • Other blood pressure-lowering medicines- may enhance the effect of Elestar HCT.
  • ACE inhibitors or aliskiren- the doctor may recommend a dose change and/or take other precautions (see also the sections "When not to take Elestar HCT" and "Warnings and precautions").
  • Lithium(a medicine used to treat mood disorders and some types of depression) - taking it with Elestar HCT may increase lithium toxicity. If lithium is necessary, the doctor will recommend monitoring lithium levels in the blood.
  • Diltiazem, verapamil, medicines used to treat heart rhythm disorders and high blood pressure.
  • Rifampicin, erythromycin, clarithromycin, tetracycline or sparfloxacin, antibiotics used to treat tuberculosis and other infections.
  • St. John's Wort(Hypericum perforatum), a herbal medicine used to treat depression.
  • Cisapride, a medicine that stimulates gastrointestinal motility.

  • Potassium supplements, salt substitutes containing potassium, diuretics(diuretics), heparin(thins blood and prevents clotting), ACE inhibitors (lower blood pressure), laxatives, steroids, adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), carbenoxolone (a medicine used to treat mouth and stomach ulcers), sodium penicillin G (sodium salt of benzylpenicillin, an antibiotic), some painkillers, such as acetylsalicylic acid or salicylates. Taking these medicines with Elestar HCT may cause changes in potassium levels in the blood.
  • Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs)(medicines used to relieve pain, swelling and other symptoms of inflammation, including arthritis), taken with Elestar HCT, may increase the risk of kidney failure. NSAIDs may weaken the effect of Elestar HCT. With high doses of salicylates, toxic effects on the central nervous system may be enhanced.
  • Sedatives, tranquilizers and antidepressantstaken with Elestar HCT may cause a sudden drop in blood pressure when standing up.
  • Cholestyramine hydrochloride(a medicine that lowers cholesterol levels in the blood) - possible weakening of the effect of Elestar HCT. The doctor may recommend taking Elestar HCT at least 4 hours before taking cholestyramine hydrochloride.
  • Certain antacids(medicines used for indigestion or heartburn), as the effect of Elestar HCT may be slightly reduced.
  • Certain muscle relaxants, such as baclofen and tubocurarine.
  • Anticholinergic medicines, such as atropine and bipiperidine.

Calcium supplements.
