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

Enalapril/Hydrochlorothiazide Sandoz contains a combination of enalapril and hydrochlorothiazide and is used to treat high blood pressure when treatment with enalapril alone has been shown to be insufficient on its own.

Your doctor may also prescribe Enalapril/Hydrochlorothiazide Sandoz instead of separate tablets of the same doses of enalapril and hydrochlorothiazide.

This fixed-dose combination is not suitable as initial treatment.

You should talk to a doctor if you do not feel better or if you feel worse.

Enalaprilbelongs to a group of medicines called angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACE inhibitors), it lowers blood pressure by dilating blood vessels.

Hydrochlorothiazidebelongs to a group of medicines called diuretics and lowers blood pressure by increasing urine production.

2. What you need to know before you take Enalapril/Hydrochlorothiazide Sandoz

Do not take Enalapril/Hydrochlorothiazide Sandoz

  • if you are allergic to enalapril, hydrochlorothiazide or any of the other ingredients of this medicine (listed in section 6),
  • if you are allergic to sulphonamide-derived medicines (most are antibiotics, e.g. sulfamethoxazole),
  • if you have previously suffered from swelling of the extremities, face, lips, throat, tongue or mouth (angioedema) when treated with other medicines belonging to the group of medicines called ACE inhibitors (angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors),
  • if you have previously suffered from swelling of the extremities, face, lips, throat, tongue or mouth (angioedema) under any other circumstances,
  • if a member of your family has previously suffered from swelling of the extremities, face, lips, throat, tongue or mouth (angioedema),
  • if you have severe kidney problems,
  • if you have problems urinating,
  • if you have diabetes or kidney insufficiency and are being treated with a blood pressure-lowering medicine that contains aliskiren,
  • if you have severe liver problems or a neurological disorder as a result of severe liver problems (hepatic encephalopathy),
  • if you are pregnant more than 3 months (it is also recommended to avoid enalapril maleate/hydrochlorothiazide at the start of pregnancy, see section pregnancy).
  • if you have taken or are taking sacubitril/valsartan, a medicine used to treat a type of long-term (chronic) heart failure in adults, as the risk of angioedema (rapid swelling under the skin in areas such as the throat) is increased.

  • if you have had skin cancer or if you develop an unexpected skin lesion during treatment. Treatment with hydrochlorothiazide, in particular its 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 radiation while taking Enalapril/Hydrochlorothiazide Sandoz,
  • you have allergy or asthma problems,
  • 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 enalapril/hydrochlorothiazide, see a doctor immediately,
  • you are taking lithium, used to treat certain psychiatric disorders,
  • you are taking any of the following medicines, which increase the risk of angioedema (rapid swelling under the skin in areas such as the throat):
  • racecadotril, a medicine used to treat diarrhoea,
  • medicines used to prevent organ transplant rejection and for cancer (e.g. temsirolimus, sirolimus, everolimus and other medicines that belong to the pharmacological class of mTOR inhibitors),

  • aliskiren.

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

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

You should consult your doctor if you think you are (or might become) pregnant. Enalapril maleate/hydrochlorothiazide is not recommended at the start of pregnancy, and must not be taken when more than 3 months pregnant, as it may cause serious harm to your baby if taken after the third month of pregnancy (see section pregnancy). Breast-feeding is not recommended when taking Enalapril/Hydrochlorothiazide Sandoz.

Generally, Enalapril/Hydrochlorothiazide Sandoz is not recommended if the following occurs, so you should consult your doctor before starting to take this medicine:

  • if you have recently undergone a kidney transplant.
  • if you have high levels of potassium in your blood, your potassium levels should be monitored during treatment. Risk factors for high potassium levels include reduced kidney function, age (> 70 years), dehydration, acute heart failure, metabolic acidosis, diabetes (diabetes mellitus), concurrent use of potassium-sparing diuretics, potassium supplements or salt substitutes that contain potassium or taking medicines that increase potassium levels in the blood. You may also develop low potassium levels in the blood, which can be detected by high blood pressure, altered heart rhythm etc. (e.g. caused by interactions with medicines, excessive urine loss etc).

See also the section "Other medicines and Enalapril/Hydrochlorothiazide Sandoz" later in the leaflet.

Inform your doctor if you are an athlete and have doping control, as Enalapril/Hydrochlorothiazide Sandoz contains an active substance that may produce positive results in a doping control.

Elderly patients (> 70 years) or malnourished patients should be carefully monitored when using Enalapril/Hydrochlorothiazide Sandoz.

Enalapril/Hydrochlorothiazide Sandoz may be less effective in black patients.

Children and adolescents

This medicine is not recommended for use in children.

If while taking Enalapril/Hydrochlorothiazide Sandoz you develop any of the following symptoms, tell your doctor immediately:

  • you feel dizzy after the first dose. Some people react to their first dose or to an increase in dose by feeling weak and unwell,
  • sudden swelling of the lips, face and throat, possibly also hands and feet, difficulty breathing or hoarseness. This disease is called angioedema. This can occur at any time during treatment. ACE inhibitors produce a higher rate of angioedema in black patients or in patients of other races,
  • high temperature, sore throat or mouth ulcers (these can be symptoms of infection caused by a low white blood cell count),
  • yellowing of the skin and the whites of the eyes (jaundice) which can be a sign of liver disease,
  • a dry cough that persists for a long time. A cough has been observed with the use of ACE inhibitors but can also be a symptom of another disease of the upper respiratory tract,
  • sudden visual impairment,
  • if you experience a decrease in vision or eye pain, they could be symptoms of fluid accumulation in the vascular layer of the eye (choroidal effusion) or an increase in eye pressure and can occur within hours to weeks after taking Enalapril/Hydrochlorothiazide Sandoz. This can lead to permanent vision loss if not treated. If you have previously experienced an allergy to penicillins or sulphonamides, you may have a higher risk of developing this.
