1. What is Kastel and what is it used for

Kastel contains two different active substances in one capsule: rosuvastatine and ramipril.
Rosuvastatine belongs to a group of medicines called statins, which regulate lipid levels (fats)
in the body.
Ramipril is an angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor. In patients with high blood pressure, the medicine dilates blood vessels, making it easier for the heart to pump blood.
Kastel is used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension) in adults who also have one of the following disorders:

  • high cholesterol levels (primary hypercholesterolemia) or
  • high levels of cholesterol and other fats (triglycerides) (mixed hyperlipidemia) and (or)
  • increased risk of heart attack, stroke, or other similar diseases, which can be reduced with Kastel.

Kastel is intended for patients who are already taking rosuvastatine and ramipril in separate
tablets. Instead of two separate tablets of rosuvastatine and ramipril, one Kastel capsule can be taken,
containing these two active substances in the same strengths.
While taking the medicine, the patient should continue to follow a low-cholesterol diet.
Kastel is not a weight loss medicine.

2. Important information before taking Kastel

When not to take Kastel:

  • If the patient is allergic to ramipril, another ACE inhibitor, rosuvastatine, or any of the other ingredients of the medicine (listed in section 6). Symptoms of an allergic reaction may include: rash, difficulty swallowing or breathing, swelling of the lips, face, throat, or tongue;
  • If the patient has ever had a severe allergic reaction called "angioedema". Symptoms include: itching, hives, red spots on the hands, feet, and throat, swelling of the throat and tongue, swelling around the eyes and mouth, difficulty breathing and swallowing;
  • If the patient has taken sacubitril/valsartan in the last 36 hours or is currently taking it, a medicine used to treat chronic heart failure;
  • If the patient is undergoing dialysis or another type of blood filtration. Depending on the device used, treatment with Kastel may not be suitable;
  • If the patient has kidney disease characterized by reduced blood flow to the kidney (renal artery stenosis) or severe kidney dysfunction;
  • If the patient is pregnant or breastfeeding. If the patient becomes pregnant while taking Kastel, they should stop taking the medicine and inform their doctor. While taking Kastel, women should avoid becoming pregnant using appropriate contraceptive methods (see also section "Pregnancy and breastfeeding");
  • If the patient has abnormally low or unstable blood pressure. This requires evaluation by a doctor;
  • If the patient has diabetes or kidney disease and is taking a blood pressure-lowering medicine containing aliskiren;
  • If the patient has liver disease;
  • If the patient has recurring muscle pain of unknown cause (myopathy);
  • If the patient is taking a combination of sofosbuvir/velpatasvir/voxilaprevir (medicines used to treat hepatitis C virus infection);
  • If the patient is taking cyclosporine (used, for example, after organ transplants to prevent rejection of the transplanted organ);
  • If the patient has ever had severe skin reactions, such as erythema multiforme, Stevens-Johnson syndrome, or toxic epidermal necrolysis, or blistering of the skin and mucous membranes (including oral, nasal, genital, and eye mucous membranes) and (or) ulcers of the mouth, throat, nose, genitals, and eyes.

If any of the above situations occur, Kastel should not be taken. In case of doubts, before taking Kastel, the patient should consult a doctor.

Warnings and precautions:

Before starting to take Kastel, the patient should consult a doctor or pharmacist:

  • If the patient has heart, liver, or kidney disease;
  • If the patient has lost a large amount of salt or fluids (due to vomiting, diarrhea, excessive sweating, low-salt diet, or prolonged use of diuretics or dialysis);
  • If the patient plans to undergo allergy treatment for bee or wasp stings (desensitization);
  • If the patient is to be anesthetized. This may be anesthesia for surgery or dental procedures. It may be necessary to stop taking Kastel the day before anesthesia; in such a case, the patient should consult a doctor.
  • If the patient has high levels of potassium in the blood (detected in a blood test);
  • If the patient is taking medicines or has conditions that may lower sodium levels in the blood. The doctor may recommend regular blood tests to check sodium levels in the blood, especially in elderly patients;
  • If the patient is taking medicines that may increase the risk of a severe allergic reaction called angioedema, such as mTOR inhibitors (e.g., temsirolimus, everolimus, sirolimus), wildagliptin, neprilysin inhibitors (NEP) (such as racecadotril), or sacubitril/valsartan. For information on sacubitril/valsartan, see section 2. "When not to take Kastel";
  • If the patient has collagenosis, such as scleroderma or systemic lupus erythematosus;
  • If the patient is taking any of the following medicines used to treat high blood pressure:
    • angiotensin II receptor antagonist (ARB) (also known as sartans, including valsartan, telmisartan, irbesartan), especially if the patient has diabetic kidney disease.
    • aliskiren. The doctor may recommend regular monitoring of kidney function, blood pressure, and electrolyte levels (e.g., potassium). See also the information under the heading "When not to take Kastel" and "Warnings and precautions";
  • If the patient experiences recurring or unexplained muscle pain, if they or their family members have had muscle diseases, or if they have had muscle problems while taking other cholesterol-lowering medicines. If unexplained muscle pain occurs, especially if accompanied by malaise or fever, the patient should immediately inform their doctor. The doctor should also be informed if there is persistent muscle weakness;
  • If the patient has myasthenia (a disease causing general muscle weakness, including in some cases muscles involved in breathing) or ocular myasthenia (a disease causing muscle weakness in the eyes), as statins may sometimes exacerbate symptoms of the disease or cause myasthenia (see section 4);
  • If the patient regularly consumes large amounts of alcohol;
  • If the patient has abnormal thyroid function (hypothyroidism);
  • If the patient is taking other cholesterol-lowering medicines called fibrates (see section "Kastel and other medicines");
  • If the patient is taking medicines used to treat HIV infection, such as ritonavir with lopinavir and (or) atazanavir, see section "Kastel and other medicines";
  • If the patient is taking or has taken within the last 7 days, orally or by injection, a medicine containing fusidic acid (an antibiotic). If it is necessary to take fusidic acid to treat a bacterial infection, the patient will need to stop taking Kastel for a while. The doctor will determine when it is safe to resume taking Kastel. Taking Kastel with fusidic acid may rarely lead to muscle weakness, tenderness, and pain (rhabdomyolysis). More information on rhabdomyolysis can be found in section 4;
  • If the patient is over 70 years old (as the doctor will need to select an appropriate dose of Kastel);
  • If the patient has severe respiratory failure;
  • If the patient is of Asian origin (Japan, China, Philippines, Vietnam, Korea, or India). The doctor will need to select an appropriate dose of Kastel.

If any of the above situations occur (or in case of doubts), before taking Kastel, the patient should consult a doctor or pharmacist.
In connection with the use of rosuvastatine, severe skin reactions have been reported, such as Stevens-Johnson syndrome and drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (DRESS). If any of the symptoms described in section 4 are noticed, the patient should immediately stop taking Kastel and consult a doctor.
In a small number of patients, statins may damage the liver. This can be detected by a simple blood test to measure liver enzyme levels.
For this reason, during treatment with Kastel, the doctor will regularly order blood tests (liver function tests). It is essential that the patient undergoes the laboratory tests ordered by the doctor.
During treatment with this medicine, the doctor will carefully monitor patients with diabetes or at risk of developing diabetes. The increased risk of developing diabetes applies to people with high blood sugar and fat levels, overweight, or high blood pressure.

Children and adolescents

Kastel should not be used in children and adolescents under 18 years of age.

Kastel and other medicines

The patient should tell their doctor or pharmacist about all medicines they are currently taking or have recently taken. This is necessary because Kastel may affect the action of other medicines. Other medicines may also affect the action of Kastel.
The patient should tell their doctor about the following medicines:

  • Pain and inflammation relief medicines (e.g., non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, such as ibuprofen, indomethacin, or acetylsalicylic acid) ;
  • Medicines used to treat low blood pressure, shock, heart failure, asthma, or allergies, such as ephedrine, norepinephrine, or adrenaline. The doctor will monitor the patient's blood pressure;
  • Sacubitril/valsartan - used to treat a certain type of chronic heart failure in adults (see section 2. "When not to take Kastel");
  • Cyclosporine (used, for example, after transplants to prevent rejection of the transplanted organ. Do not take Kastel while being treated with cyclosporine;
  • Cancer medicines (used in chemotherapy, such as regorafenib, darolutamide);
  • Diuretics, such as furosemide;
  • Medicines that may increase potassium levels in the blood, such as spironolactone, triamterene, amiloride, potassium salts, trimethoprim alone or in combination with sulfamethoxazole (used to treat infections), and heparin (used to thin the blood);
  • Corticosteroids used to treat inflammation, such as prednisolone;
  • Allopurinol (a medicine used to lower uric acid levels in the blood);
  • Procainamide (used to treat heart rhythm disorders);
  • Temsirolimus (used to treat cancer);
  • Sirolimus, everolimus (medicines used to prevent transplant rejection);
  • Wildagliptin (used to treat type 2 diabetes);
  • Racecadotril (a medicine used to treat diarrhea);
  • It is possible that the treating doctor will need to change the dose and (or) take other precautions if the patient is taking an angiotensin receptor antagonist (ARB) or aliskiren (see also the information under the heading "When not to take Kastel" and "Warnings and precautions");
  • Medicines used to treat diabetes, such as oral hypoglycemic agents and insulin. Kastel may lower blood sugar levels. While taking Kastel, the patient's blood sugar levels should be carefully monitored;
  • Lithium (used to treat mental illnesses). Kastel may increase lithium levels in the blood. The patient will require careful monitoring of lithium levels in the blood by their doctor;
  • Warfarin, ticagrelor, or clopidogrel, or other blood-thinning medicines (if taken with Kastel, their blood-thinning effect may increase, and the risk of bleeding may increase);
  • Fibrates (such as gemfibrozil, fenofibrate) or other cholesterol-lowering medicines (such as ezetimibe). If taken with Kastel, the effect of rosuvastatine may increase;
  • Antacids containing aluminum and magnesium (used to neutralize stomach acid; they may decrease rosuvastatine levels in the blood). This effect can be reduced by taking this type of medicine 2 hours after taking rosuvastatine;
  • Erythromycin (an antibiotic). If taken with Kastel, the effect of rosuvastatine may decrease;
  • Fusidic acid (an antibiotic). If it is necessary to take fusidic acid to treat a bacterial infection, the patient will need to stop taking Kastel for a while. The doctor will determine when it is safe to resume taking Kastel. Taking Kastel with fusidic acid may rarely lead to muscle weakness, tenderness, and pain (rhabdomyolysis). More information on rhabdomyolysis can be found in section 4;
  • Oral contraceptives (the pill). The absorption of sex hormones from the pill may increase;
  • Kapmatinib (used to treat cancer)
