1. What is Amlodipino/Valsartán/Hidroclorotiazida Krka and what is it used for

Amlodipino/Valsartán/Hidroclorotiazida Krka tablets contain three substances called amlodipino, valsartán and hidroclorotiazida. All these substances help control high blood pressure.

  • Amlodipino belongs to a group of substances called ”calcium channel blockers”. Amlodipino prevents calcium from entering the blood vessel wall, which prevents blood vessel narrowing.
  • Valsartán belongs to a group of substances called ”angiotensin II receptor antagonists”. Angiotensin II is produced by the body and causes blood vessels to narrow, thereby increasing blood pressure. Valsartán acts by blocking the effect of angiotensin II.
  • Hidroclorotiazida belongs to a group of substances known as ”thiazide diuretics”. Hidroclorotiazida increases urine production, which also lowers blood pressure.

As a result of the three mechanisms, blood vessels relax and blood pressure decreases.

Amlodipino/Valsartán/Hidroclorotiazida Krka is used to treat high blood pressure in adult patients whose blood pressure is already controlled while taking amlodipino, valsartán and hidroclorotiazida and who may benefit from taking a tablet that contains the three substances.

2. What you need to know before starting to take Amlodipino/Valsartán/Hidroclorotiazida Krka

Do not take Amlodipino/Valsartán/Hidroclorotiazida Krka

  • if you are more than 3 months pregnant. (In any case, it is recommended to avoid taking Amlodipino/Valsartán/Hidroclorotiazida Krka also at the beginning of your pregnancy - see Pregnancy section).
  • 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 (listed in section 6). If you think you may be allergic, do not take Amlodipino/Valsartán/Hidroclorotiazida Krka and inform your doctor.
  • if you have liver disease, destruction of the small bile ducts inside 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 potassium or sodium levels in the blood.
  • if your blood calcium levels are too high despite treatment to reduce calcium levels in the blood.
  • if you have gout (crystals of uric acid in the joints).
  • if you have severe low blood pressure (hypotension).
  • if you have a 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 insufficiency and are being treated with a medication to reduce blood pressure that contains aliskiren.

Do not take Amlodipino/Valsartán/Hidroclorotiazida Krka and inform your doctor if you are affected by any of the above cases.

Warnings and precautions

Consult your doctor or pharmacist before starting to take Amlodipino/Valsartán/Hidroclorotiazida Krka

  • if you have low levels of potassium or magnesium in the blood (with or without symptoms such as muscle weakness, muscle spasms, abnormal heart rhythm).
  • if you have low levels of sodium in the blood (with or without symptoms such as fatigue, confusion, muscle contractions, convulsions).
  • if you have high levels of calcium in the blood (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 undergone a kidney transplant, or if you have been informed that you have a narrowing of the kidney arteries.
  • if you have liver problems.
  • if you have or have had heart failure or coronary artery disease, particularly if you have been prescribed the maximum dose of Amlodipino/Valsartán/Hidroclorotiazida Krka (10 mg/320 mg/25 mg).
  • if you have had a heart attack. Follow your doctor's instructions to start the dosage carefully. Your doctor may also check your renal function.
  • if your doctor has informed you that you have a narrowing of the heart valves (which is called "aortic or mitral stenosis") or that the thickness of your heart muscle has increased abnormally (which is called "hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy").
  • if you have aldosteronism. A disease in which the adrenal glands produce too much aldosterone hormone. In this case, the use of Amlodipino/Valsartán/Hidroclorotiazida Krka is not recommended.
  • if you have a disease called systemic lupus erythematosus (also known as "lupus" or "LES").
  • if you have diabetes (high blood sugar levels).
  • if you have high levels of cholesterol or triglycerides in the blood.
  • if you experience skin reactions such as sunburn after exposure to the sun.
  • if you have had an allergic reaction to other medications for high blood pressure or diuretics (a type of medication also known as "medications to urinate"), especially if you have 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 Amlodipino/Valsartán/Hidroclorotiazida Krka and contact your doctor immediately. Never take Amlodipino/Valsartán/Hidroclorotiazida Krka again.
  • if you experience dizziness and/or fainting during treatment with Amlodipino/Valsartán/Hidroclorotiazida Krka, inform your doctor as soon as possible.
  • if you experience a decrease in vision or eye pain. These may be symptoms of fluid accumulation in the vascular layer of the eye (choroidal effusion) or an increase in intraocular pressure and may appear within hours to weeks of administration of Amlodipino/Valsartán/Hidroclorotiazida Krka. If left untreated, this can cause permanent vision loss. If you have previously had an allergy to penicillin or sulfonamide, you may be at a higher risk of developing it.
  • if you are taking any of the following medications used to treat high blood pressure:
    • an ACE inhibitor (such as enalapril, lisinopril, ramipril), particularly if you have kidney problems related to diabetes.
    • aliskiren.
  • if you have had skin cancer or if you develop an unexpected skin lesion during treatment. The treatment with hydrochlorothiazide, particularly its 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 exposure to the sun and UV rays while taking Amlodipino/Valsartán/Hidroclorotiazida Krka.
  • if you have had respiratory or pulmonary 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 Amlodipino/Valsartán/Hidroclorotiazida Krka, seek medical attention immediately.

Your doctor may monitor your renal function, blood pressure, and electrolyte levels (such as potassium) in the blood at regular intervals.
