Indications
IMPRIDA HCT Tablets / Film-coated is used for:
Treatment of hypertension. Indicated in patients whose blood pressure is not adequately controlled on dual therapy or as replacement therapy in patients already receiving amlodipine, valsartan and hydrochlorothiazide at the same dose levels from separate tablets.
Treatment should not be initiated with these fixed-dose combinations
Reduction in BP helps lower the risk of fatal and nonfatal cardiovascular events, mainly stroke and MI
Adult Dose
By mouth, one tablet once-daily. Titrate up to a max. dose of 10/320/25 mg (see Note below)
NOTE:
The triple fixed-dose combination is ONLY indicated as substitution therapy in patients whose BP is already adequately controlled on the triple combination of amlodipine, valsartan and hydrochlorothiazide taken either as three single component formulations or as dual–component formulation with a single-component formulation, all components at the same dose level.
When the BP is not controlled on one of the 3 possible dual combination therapies, then any third monotherapy must be first added as an individual therapy until dose titration is complete and BP control established before the triple fixed-dose combination may be introduced.
Direct dose-titration within the triple fixed-dose combination product range is not recommended. If a patient’s BP is uncontrolled at one of the lower dosage of the combination, dose titration must be carried out with the separately administered components
Child Dose
Not recommended for use in patients aged below 18 years due to a lack of safety and efficacy data
Renal Dose
