1. What Amlodipine/Valsartan/Hydrochlorothiazide Krka is and what it is used for
Amlodipine/Valsartan/Hydrochlorothiazide Krka film-coated tablets contain three active substances called amlodipine, valsartan, and hydrochlorothiazide. All these substances help to control high blood pressure.
- Amlodipine belongs to a group of substances called “calcium channel blockers”. Amlodipine prevents calcium from entering the blood vessel wall, which prevents the blood vessels from narrowing.
- Valsartan belongs to a group of substances called “angiotensin II receptor antagonists”. Angiotensin II is produced by the body and makes the blood vessels narrow, thereby increasing blood pressure. Valsartan works by blocking the effect of angiotensin II.
- Hydrochlorothiazide belongs to a group of substances known as “thiazide diuretics”. Hydrochlorothiazide increases urine production, which also lowers blood pressure.
As a result of the three mechanisms, the blood vessels relax and blood pressure decreases.
Amlodipine/Valsartan/Hydrochlorothiazide Krka is used to treat high blood pressure in adult patients whose blood pressure is already controlled while taking amlodipine, valsartan, and hydrochlorothiazide and who can benefit from taking a single tablet that contains the three substances.
2. What you need to know before you take Amlodipine/Valsartan/Hydrochlorothiazide Krka
Do not take Amlodipine/Valsartan/Hydrochlorothiazide Krka
- if you are more than 3 months pregnant. (In any case, it is recommended to avoid taking Amlodipine/Valsartan/Hydrochlorothiazide Krka also at the beginning of your pregnancy - see section Pregnancy).
- if you are allergic to amlodipine or any other calcium channel blocker, valsartan, hydrochlorothiazide, sulfonamide-derived medications (medications used to treat chest or urinary tract infections), or any of the other components of this medication (included in section 6). If you think you may be allergic, do not take Amlodipine/Valsartan/Hydrochlorothiazide Krka and inform your doctor.
- if you have liver disease, destruction of the small bile ducts within the liver (biliary cirrhosis) that leads to the accumulation of bile in the liver (cholestasis).
- if you have severe kidney problems or if you are undergoing dialysis.
- if you are unable to urinate (anuria).
- if your blood potassium or sodium levels are too low despite treatment to increase blood potassium or sodium levels.
- if your blood calcium levels are too high despite treatment to reduce blood calcium levels.
- if you have gout (uric acid crystals in the joints).
- if you have severe low blood pressure (hypotension).
- if you have narrowing of the aortic valve (aortic stenosis) or cardiogenic shock (a situation in which your heart cannot supply enough blood to the body).
- if you have heart failure after a heart attack.
- if you have diabetes or kidney failure and are being treated with a blood pressure-lowering medication that contains aliskiren.
Do not take Amlodipine/Valsartan/Hydrochlorothiazide Krka and inform your doctor if any of the above applies to you.
Warnings and precautions
Consult your doctor or pharmacist before starting to take Amlodipine/Valsartan/Hydrochlorothiazide Krka
- if you have low blood potassium or magnesium levels (with or without symptoms such as muscle weakness, muscle spasms, irregular heartbeat).
- if you have low blood sodium levels (with or without symptoms such as fatigue, confusion, muscle contractions, convulsions).
- if you have high blood calcium levels (with or without symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, constipation, stomach pain, frequent urination, thirst, muscle contractions, and muscle weakness).
- if you have kidney problems, have had a kidney transplant, or have been informed that you have narrowing of the arteries of the kidney.
- if you have liver problems.
- if you have or have had heart failure or coronary artery disease, in particular if you have been prescribed the maximum dose of Amlodipine/Valsartan/Hydrochlorothiazide Krka (10 mg/320 mg/25 mg).
- if you have had a heart attack. Follow your doctor's instructions to carefully start the dosage. Your doctor may also check your kidney function.
- if your doctor has informed you that you have narrowing of the heart valves (so-called “aortic or mitral stenosis”) or that the thickness of your heart muscle has increased abnormally (so-called “hypertrophic cardiomyopathy”).
- if you suffer from aldosteronism. A disease in which the adrenal glands produce too much aldosterone hormone. In this case, the use of Amlodipine/Valsartan/Hydrochlorothiazide Krka is not recommended.
- if you suffer from systemic lupus erythematosus (also known as “lupus” or “SLE”).
- if you have diabetes (high blood sugar levels).
- if you have high cholesterol or triglyceride levels in the blood.
- if you experience skin reactions such as rash after sun exposure.
- if you have had an allergic reaction to other blood pressure medications or diuretics (a type of medication also known as “water pills”), especially if you suffer from asthma and allergies.
- if you have been ill (with vomiting or diarrhea).
- if you have experienced swelling, particularly in the face and throat, while taking other medications (including ACE inhibitors). If you have these symptoms, stop taking Amlodipine/Valsartan/Hydrochlorothiazide Krka and contact your doctor immediately. You should never take Amlodipine/Valsartan/Hydrochlorothiazide Krka again.
- if you experience dizziness and/or fainting during treatment with Amlodipine/Valsartan/Hydrochlorothiazide Krka, inform your doctor as soon as possible.
- if you experience decreased vision or eye pain. These can be symptoms of fluid accumulation in the vascular layer of the eye (choroidal effusion) or increased eye pressure and can occur within hours to weeks of administration of Amlodipine/Valsartan/Hydrochlorothiazide Krka. If left untreated, this can lead to permanent vision loss. If you have previously had an allergy to penicillin or sulfonamide, you may be at higher risk of developing it.
- if you are taking any of the following medications used to treat high blood pressure:
- an angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor (ACE inhibitor) (e.g., enalapril, lisinopril, ramipril), particularly if you have kidney problems related to diabetes.
- if you have had skin cancer or if you develop an unexpected skin lesion during treatment. Treatment with hydrochlorothiazide, in particular long-term use at high doses, may increase the risk of certain types of skin cancer and lip cancer (non-melanoma skin cancer). Protect your skin from sun and UV exposure while taking Amlodipine/Valsartan/Hydrochlorothiazide Krka.
- If you have had respiratory or lung problems (such as inflammation or fluid in the lungs) after taking hydrochlorothiazide in the past. If you experience shortness of breath or severe difficulty breathing after taking Amlodipine/Valsartan/Hydrochlorothiazide Krka, seek medical attention immediately.
Your doctor may check your kidney function, blood pressure, and blood electrolyte levels (e.g., potassium) at regular intervals.
Consult your doctor if you experience abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea after taking Amlodipine/Valsartan/Hydrochlorothiazide Krka. Your doctor will decide whether to continue treatment. Do not stop taking Amlodipine/Valsartan/Hydrochlorothiazide Krka on your own.
See also the information under the heading “Do not take Amlodipine/Valsartan/Hydrochlorothiazide Krka”.
Tell your doctor if any of the above applies to you.

Taking Amlodipine/Valsartan/Hydrochlorothiazide Krka with food, drinks, and alcohol
Patients who have been prescribed Amlodipine/Valsartan/Hydrochlorothiazide Krka should not consume grapefruit or grapefruit juice. This is because grapefruit and grapefruit juice can lead to an increase in blood levels of the active substance amlodipine, which can cause an unpredictable increase in the blood pressure-lowering effects of Amlodipine/Valsartan/Hydrochlorothiazide Krka. Consult your doctor before drinking alcohol. Alcohol can significantly lower your blood pressure and/or increase the risk of dizziness or fainting.
Pregnancy and breastfeeding
Pregnancy
You should inform your doctor if you are pregnant, think you may be pregnant, or plan to become pregnant. Your doctor will normally advise you to stop taking Amlodipine/Valsartan/Hydrochlorothiazide Krka before you become pregnant or as soon as you find out you are pregnant, and recommend that you take another blood pressure medication instead. Amlodipine/Valsartan/Hydrochlorothiazide Krka is not recommended during the first trimester of pregnancy and should not be used after the third month of pregnancy as it may cause serious harm to your baby when administered after this time.
Breastfeeding
Inform your doctor if you are breastfeeding or about to start breastfeeding. It has been shown that amlodipine passes into breast milk in small amounts. Amlodipine/Valsartan/Hydrochlorothiazide Krka is not recommended for use in breastfeeding women. Your doctor may decide to prescribe a treatment that is more suitable if you wish to breastfeed, especially newborns or premature babies.
Consult your doctor or pharmacist before taking any medication.
