1. Package contents and additional information

1. What is Amlodipine/Valsartan/Hydrochlorothiazide Sandoz and what is it used for

Amlodipine/Valsartan/Hydrochlorothiazide Sandoz contains three substances called amlodipine, valsartan, and hydrochlorothiazide. All these substances help 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 causes blood vessels to narrow, thereby increasing blood pressure. Valsartan works by blocking the effect of angiotensin II.
• Hydrochlorothiazide belongs to a group of substances called "thiazide diuretics". Hydrochlorothiazide increases urine production, which also decreases blood pressure.

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

Amlodipine/Valsartan/Hydrochlorothiazide Sandoz 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 containing the three substances.

2. What you need to know before taking Amlodipine/Valsartan/Hydrochlorothiazide Sandoz

Do not takeAmlodipine/Valsartan/Hydrochlorothiazide Sandoz

• if you are pregnant for more than 3 months. (In any case, it is recommended to avoid taking amlodipine/valsartan/hydrochlorothiazide also at the beginning of 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 (listed in section 6).

If you think you may be allergic, do not take Amlodipine/Valsartan/Hydrochlorothiazide Sandoz 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 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 (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 medication that contains aliskiren.

Do not take Amlodipine/Valsartan/Hydrochlorothiazide Sandoz and inform your doctor if any of the above cases apply to you.

Warnings and precautions

Consult your doctor or pharmacist before starting to take Amlodipine/Valsartan/Hydrochlorothiazide Sandoz

• if you have low potassium or magnesium levels in your blood (with or without symptoms such as muscle weakness, muscle spasms, irregular heartbeat).
• if you have low sodium levels in your blood (with or without symptoms such as fatigue, confusion, muscle contractions, convulsions).
• if you have high calcium levels in your blood (with or without symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, constipation, stomach pain, frequent urination, thirst, muscle weakness, and muscle contractions).
• if you have kidney problems, have undergone 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 (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 (called "aortic or mitral stenosis") or that the thickness of your heart muscle has increased abnormally (called "hypertrophic cardiomyopathy").
• if you have aldosteronism. A disease in which the adrenal glands produce too much aldosterone hormone. In this case, the use of amlodipine/valsartan/hydrochlorothiazide is not recommended.
• if you have a disease called 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 your 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, 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 amlodipine/valsartan/hydrochlorothiazide and contact your doctor immediately. You should never take amlodipine/valsartan/hydrochlorothiazide again.
• if you experience dizziness and/or fainting during treatment with amlodipine/valsartan/hydrochlorothiazide, inform your doctor as soon as possible.
• if you experience decreased vision or eye pain, they could be symptoms of fluid accumulation in the vascular layer of the eye (choroidal effusion) or increased pressure in the eye, and can occur within a few hours to a week after taking amlodipine/valsartan/hydrochlorothiazide. If left untreated, this can lead to permanent vision loss. If you have previously been allergic 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.
• aliskiren.

• if you have had skin cancer or if you develop an unexpected skin lesion during treatment. Treatment with hydrochlorothiazide, particularly 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.
• 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, seek medical attention immediately.

Your doctor may monitor your kidney function, blood pressure, and electrolyte levels (e.g., potassium) with regular blood tests.

See also the information under the heading "Do not take Amlodipine/Valsartan/Hydrochlorothiazide Sandoz".

Tell your doctor if any of the above cases apply to you.

Taking Amlodipine/Valsartan/Hydrochlorothiazide Sandozwith food, drinks, and alcohol

People who have been prescribed amlodipine/valsartan/hydrochlorothiazide should not consume grapefruit or grapefruit juice. This is because grapefruit and grapefruit juice can lead to an increase in the levels of the active substance amlodipine in the blood, which can cause an unpredictable increase in the blood pressure-lowering effects of amlodipine/valsartan/hydrochlorothiazide. Consult your doctor before drinking alcohol. Alcohol can significantly lower your blood pressure and/or increase the risk of dizziness or fainting.

Pregnancy andbreastfeeding

Pregnancy

You must inform your doctorif you are pregnant, if you think you may be pregnant, or if you plan to become pregnant. Your doctor will usually advise you to stop taking amlodipine/valsartan/hydrochlorothiazide before becoming pregnant or as soon as you become pregnant, and will recommend taking another medication instead. Amlodipine/valsartan/hydrochlorothiazide is not recommended during pregnancy and should not be taken after the third month of pregnancy, as it may cause serious harm to your baby when taken after this time.

Breastfeeding

Tell your doctorif you are breastfeeding or plan to start breastfeeding. It has been shown that amlodipine passes into breast milk in small amounts. Amlodipine/valsartan/hydrochlorothiazide is not recommended for women during breastfeeding. Your doctor may decide to prescribe another treatment if you want to breastfeed, especially if your baby is a newborn or premature.

Consult your doctor or pharmacist before taking any medication.

Driving and using machines

This medication may make you feel dizzy, sleepy, nauseous, or have a headache. If you experience these symptoms, do not drive or use tools or machines.
