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

Dafiro HCT 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 causes the blood vessels to 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.

Dafiro HCT 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 you take Dafiro HCT

Do not take Dafiro HCT

  • if you are more than 3 months pregnant. (In any case, it is recommended to avoid taking Dafiro HCT also at the start of your pregnancy - see section Pregnancy).
  • if you are allergic to amlodipine or any other calcium channel blocker, valsartan, hydrochlorothiazide, sulfonamide-derived medications (medicines used to treat chest or urinary tract infections), or any of the other components of this medicine (listed in section 6).

If you think you may be allergic, do not take Dafiro HCT 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 on 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 where your heart cannot supply enough blood to your body).
  • if you have heart failure after a heart attack.
  • if you have diabetes or kidney problems and are being treated with a blood pressure-lowering medicine that contains aliskiren.

Do not take Dafiro HCT and inform your doctor if any of the above applies to you.

Warnings and precautions

Consult your doctor or pharmacist before starting to take Dafiro HCT

  • 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 contractions, and muscle weakness).
  • if you have kidney problems, have had a kidney transplant, or have been told you have narrowing of the arteries to the kidneys.
  • 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 Dafiro HCT (10 mg/320 mg/25 mg).
  • if you have had a heart attack. Follow your doctor's instructions to carefully start dosing. Your doctor may also check your kidney function.
  • if your doctor has told 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 Dafiro HCT is not recommended.
  • if you suffer from 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 a rash after sun exposure.
  • if you have had an allergic reaction to other blood pressure-lowering medicines or diuretics, especially if you suffer from asthma and allergies.
  • if you have been ill (with vomiting or diarrhea).
  • if you have experienced swelling, in particular in the face and throat, while taking other medicines (including ACE inhibitors). If you have these symptoms, stop taking Dafiro HCT and contact your doctor immediately. You should never take Dafiro HCT again.
  • if you experience abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea after taking Dafiro HCT. Your doctor will decide whether to continue treatment. Do not stop taking Dafiro HCT on your own.
  • if you experience dizziness and/or fainting during treatment with Dafiro HCT, inform your doctor as soon as possible.
  • if you experience a decrease in 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 a week of administration of Dafiro HCT. If left untreated, this can lead to permanent vision loss.
  • if you are taking any of the following medicines used to treat high blood pressure:
  • an ACE inhibitor (e.g., enalapril, lisinopril, ramipril), especially 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, in particular long-term use at high doses, may increase the risk of certain types of skin and lip cancer (non-melanoma skin cancer). Protect your skin from sun and UV exposure while taking Dafiro HCT.
  • 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 Dafiro HCT, seek medical attention immediately.

Your doctor may check your kidney function, blood pressure, and electrolyte levels (e.g., potassium) in your blood at regular intervals.

See also the information under the heading “Do not take Dafiro HCT”.

Tell your doctor if any of the above applies to you.

Taking Dafiro HCT with food, drinks, and alcohol

People who have been prescribed Dafiro HCT 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 Dafiro HCT. Consult your doctor before drinking alcohol. Alcohol can greatly lower your blood pressure and/or increase the possibility of dizziness or fainting.

Pregnancy and breastfeeding

Pregnancy

You must tell your doctorif you are pregnant, think you may be pregnant, or plan to become pregnant. Your doctor will normally advise you to stop taking Dafiro HCT before you become pregnant or as soon as you find out you are pregnant, and will recommend that you take another blood pressure-lowering medicine instead. Dafiro HCT is not recommended during the first trimester of pregnancy and must not be taken after the third month of pregnancy as it may cause serious harm to your baby.

Breastfeeding

Tell your doctorif you are about to start or are breastfeeding. Amlodipine has been shown to pass into breast milk in small amounts. Dafiro HCT is not recommended for use in women during breastfeeding. Your doctor may decide to give you a treatment that is more suitable if you want to breastfeed, especially newborns or premature babies.

Consult your doctor or pharmacist before using any medicine.

Driving and using machines

As with other medicines used to treat high blood pressure, you may feel dizzy, sleepy, nauseous, or have a headache. If you experience these symptoms, do not drive or use tools or machines.

3. How to take Dafiro HCT

Follow exactly the instructions of administration of this medicine given by your doctor. If you are in doubt, consult your doctor again. This will help you get the best results and reduce the risk of side effects.

The normal dose of Dafiro HCT is one tabletper day.

  • It is best to take the tablet at the same time each day. The best time is in the morning.
  • Swallow the tablet whole with a glass of water.

Do not exceed the prescribed dose.

If you take more Dafiro HCT than you should

If you have accidentally taken too many Dafiro HCT tablets, consult your doctor immediately. You may need medical attention. Excess fluid may accumulate in the lungs (pulmonary edema) causing difficulty breathing that can develop up to 24-48 hours after ingestion.

If you forget to take Dafiro HCT

If you forget to take a dose of this medicine, take it as soon as you remember and then take the next dose at the usual time. If it is almost time for the next dose, only take the next tablet at the usual time. Do nottake a double dose (two tablets at the same time) to make up for forgotten doses.

If you stop taking Dafiro HCT

Stopping your treatment with Dafiro HCT may cause your condition to worsen. Do not stop taking the medicine unless your doctor tells you to.

Always take this medicine, even if you feel well
