5 Conservation of Tricual
- Contents of the pack and further information
1. What is Tricual and what is it used for
Tricual tablets contain three active substances called atorvastatin, amlodipine, and ramipril.
Atorvastatin belongs to a group of medicines known as statins, which are lipid-modifying medicines. It works by reducing the lipids such as cholesterol and triglycerides in the blood.
Amlodipine belongs to a group of medicines called calcium channel blockers. In patients with high blood pressure, it works by relaxing the blood vessels, so that blood passes through them more easily.
Ramipril belongs to a group of medicines called ACE inhibitors. In patients with high blood pressure, it works by widening the blood vessels, making it easier for the heart to pump blood to the rest of the body.
Tricual is used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension) associated with high levels of cholesterol (primary hypercholesterolemia) or high levels of cholesterol and fats (triglycerides) at the same time (combined or mixed hyperlipidemia) in adult patients.
Tricual is intended for patients who are already being treated with atorvastatin, amlodipine, and ramipril in separate tablets. Instead of taking atorvastatin, amlodipine, and ramipril in separate tablets, you will receive one Tricual tablet that contains the three active substances in the same concentration.
2. What you need to know before you take Tricual
Do not takeTricual
- if you are allergic to ramipril or any other ACE inhibitor, to amlodipine or any other calcium channel blocker, or to atorvastatin or any of the other ingredients of this medicine (listed in section 6).
The signs of an allergic reaction can include rash, difficulty swallowing or breathing, swelling of the lips, face, throat, or tongue.
- if your blood pressure is abnormally low or unstable. Your doctor will need to assess this.
- if you have heart failure after a heart attack.
- if you have an obstruction of the blood flow from the left ventricle of the heart (e.g., high-grade aortic stenosis) or shock (including cardiogenic shock, a condition where the heart is unable to supply enough blood to the body).
- if you or a member of your family has ever had a severe allergic reaction called "angioedema".
The signs include itching, hives, red marks on hands, feet, and throat, swelling of the throat and tongue, swelling around the eyes and lips, difficulty breathing and swallowing.
- if you have taken or are taking sacubitril/valsartan, a medicine used to treat a type of long-term (chronic) heart failure in adults (see section 2 'Do not take Tricual').
- if you are undergoing dialysis or any other type of blood filtration procedure. Depending on the device used, Tricual may not be suitable for you.
- if you have kidney problems that involve a reduction in blood supply to the kidneys (renal artery stenosis).
- if you have diabetes or kidney impairment and are being treated with a blood pressure-lowering medicine that contains aliskiren.
- if you have a liver disease, if you have a liver problem (liver failure) or if you have had unexplained abnormal results of liver function tests.
- if you are using the combination of glecaprevir/pibrentasvir for the treatment of hepatitis C.
- if you are pregnant or trying to become pregnant, or if you are a woman of childbearing age and are not using a reliable contraceptive method.
- if you are breast-feeding.
Do not take Tricual if any of the above applies to you. If you are not sure, consult your doctor before taking Tricual.
Warnings and precautions
Consult your doctor or pharmacist before starting to take Tricual.
Tell your doctor if you have or have had any of the following:
- if you have very high blood pressure.
- if you have heart failure or any other heart problem.
- if you have recently had a heart attack.
- if you have kidney problems or kidney disease.
- if you have liver problems or a history of liver disease.
- if you have lost a large amount of body salts or fluids (due to vomiting, diarrhea, excessive sweating, low-salt diet, taking diuretics for a long time, or dialysis treatment).
- if you are going to have a treatment to reduce your allergic reactions to bee or wasp stings (desensitization).
- if you are going to have an anesthesia and/or major surgery. You may be given anesthesia for an operation or any dental procedure. You may need to stop taking Tricual one day before; consult your doctor.
- if you have high levels of potassium in your blood (hyperkalemia, shown in blood test results) or use salt substitutes that contain potassium.
- if you are taking medicines or have a disease that may decrease the levels of sodium in your blood. Your doctor may perform periodic blood tests, especially to check the levels of sodium in your blood, especially if you are an elderly patient.
- if you experience a severe allergic reaction with swelling of the face, lips, tongue, or throat with difficulty swallowing or breathing (angioedema). This can occur at any time during treatment. If you experience these symptoms, stop taking this medicine and go to the doctor immediately.
- if you are taking any of the following medicines, the risk of angioedema increases:
- - mTOR inhibitors (used to prevent organ rejection), e.g., temsirolimus, everolimus, sirolimus,
- - vildagliptin (used to treat diabetes),
- - neprilysin inhibitors (NEP) such as racecadotril (used to treat diarrhea) or
- - sacubitril/valsartan. For sacubitril/valsartan, see section 2 "Do not take Tricual".
- if you have a vascular disease of the collagen such as scleroderma or systemic lupus erythematosus.
- if you are black, as you may have a higher risk of angioedema and this medicine may be less effective in reducing your blood pressure than in patients who are not black.
- if you are taking any of the following medicines used to treat high blood pressure:
- - an angiotensin II receptor antagonist (ARA) (also known as sartans - e.g., valsartan, telmisartan, irbesartan), particularly if you have kidney problems related to diabetes.
- - aliskiren.
- if you have severe respiratory failure or if you develop symptoms of severe respiratory failure while taking this medicine.
- if you are taking or have taken in the last 7 days a medicine called fusidic acid (an antibiotic used to treat bacterial infections) by mouth or by injection. The combination of fusidic acid and Tricual can cause serious muscle problems (rhabdomyolysis).
- if you have an underactive thyroid gland (hypothyroidism).
- if you have had repeated or unexplained muscle pain, personal or family history of muscle problems.
- if you have had muscle problems before while taking other cholesterol-lowering medicines (e.g., other "-statin" or "-fibrate" medicines).
- if you regularly drink large amounts of alcohol.
If any of the above applies to you (or you are not sure), talk to your doctor before taking Tricual.
Your doctor will need to perform a blood test before and possibly during your treatment with this medicine to assess the risk of you experiencing muscle-related side effects. It is known that the risk of muscle-related side effects, e.g., rhabdomyolysis, increases when certain medicines are taken at the same time (see section 2 "Other medicines and Tricual").
Also, inform your doctor or pharmacist if you have constant muscle weakness. Further tests and medicines may be needed to diagnose and treat it.
While taking this medicine, your doctor will closely monitor you if you have diabetes or are at risk of developing diabetes. You are likely to be at risk of developing diabetes if you have high levels of sugars and fats in your blood, are overweight, and have high blood pressure.
Your doctor may periodically check your kidney function, blood pressure, and the amount of electrolytes (e.g., potassium) in your blood. See also the information under the heading "Do not take Tricual".
Children and adolescents
Tricual is not recommended for children and adolescents under 18 years of age.

If any of the above applies to you (or you are not sure), consult your doctor before taking Tricual.
Taking Tricual with food, drinks, and alcohol
See section 3 for instructions on how to take Tricual.
Grapefruit juice and grapefruit should not be consumed by people taking Tricual. This is because grapefruit and grapefruit juice can cause an increase in the levels of the active substance amlodipine in the blood, which can cause an unpredictable increase in the blood-pressure-lowering effect of Tricual. Large amounts of grapefruit juice will increase the effect of the active substance atorvastatin.
Avoid drinking too much alcohol while taking this medicine. See section 2 "Warnings and precautions" for more details.
Drinking alcohol during treatment with this medicine can make you feel dizzy or drowsy. If you are concerned about how much you can drink while taking Tricual, talk to your doctor, as the medicines used to lower blood pressure and alcohol can reinforce each other's sedative effects.
Pregnancy and breast-feeding
Pregnancy
Do not take Tricual if you are pregnant, if you are trying to become pregnant, or if you are of childbearing age and are not using a reliable contraceptive method (see "Do not take Tricual").
This medicine should not be used during pregnancy.
Breast-feeding
Do not take Tricual if you are breast-feeding. Inform your doctor immediately if you are breast-feeding or are about to start breast-feeding.
Driving and using machines
Tricual may affect your ability to drive or use machines. If you feel unwell, dizzy, tired, or have a headache while taking this medicine, do not drive or use machines. This is more likely to happen when you start taking this medicine or when you start taking a higher dose.
Tricual contains lactose

If You Take More Tricual Than You Should
Inform your doctor immediately or contact the nearest emergency service. Do not drive to the hospital, ask someone else to take you or call an ambulance. Bring the medication packaging with you. This way, the doctor will know what you have taken.
Taking too many tablets can cause your blood pressure to drop or even drop dangerously. You may feel dizzy, dazed, or weak. If the drop in blood pressure is severe enough, it can cause shock. You may feel cold and damp skin and may lose consciousness.
Excess fluid can accumulate in the lungs (pulmonary edema), causing difficulty breathing that can appear up to 24-48 hours after ingestion.
In case of overdose or accidental ingestion, consult your doctor or pharmacist immediately or call the Toxicology Information Service, phone: 91 562 04 20, indicating the medication and the amount ingested.
If You Miss a Dose of Tricual
If you forget to take a tablet, leave that dose completely. Take the next dose at the usual time. Do not take a double dose to make up for missed doses.
If You Interrupt Treatment with Tricual
Your doctor will indicate how long you should take this medication. Your condition may recur if you interrupt treatment with this medication.
If you have any other questions about the use of this medication, ask your doctor or pharmacist.
