Cardotel 5 mg+40 mgThis combination is used for the treatment of essential hypertension in adults. Replacement Therapy:?Patients receiving telmisaitan and amlodipine from separate tablets may instead receive Telmisartan & Amlodipine containing the same component doses.Add-On Therapy: Telmisartan & Amlodipine is indicated in patients whose blood pressure is not adequately controlled on telmisaitan or amlodipine monotherapy.Initial Therapy:?Telmisartan & Amlodipine may also be used as initial therapy in patients who are likely to need multiple drugs to achieve their blood pressure goals. Base the choice of Telmisartan & Amlodipine tablets as initial therapy for hypertension on an assessment of potential benefits and risks including whether the patient is likely to tolerate the starting dose of Telmisartan & Amlodipine tablets.Patients with moderate or severe hypeitension are at relatively high-risk for cardiovascular events (eg, stroke, heait attacks and heart failure), kidney failure and vision problems, so prompt treatment is clinically relevant. Consider the patient?s baseline blood pressure, the target goals and the incremental likelihood of achieving goals with a combination compared to monotherapy when deciding whether to use Telmisartan & Amlodipine tablets as initial therapy. Individual blood pressure goals may vary based upon the patient?s risk.Theropeutic ClassCombined antihypertensive preparationsPharmacologyAmlodipine relaxes peripheral and coronary vascular smooth muscle. It produces coronary vasodilation by inhibiting the entry of Ca ions into the slow channels or select voltage sensitive channels of the vascular smooth muscle and myocardium during depolarisation. It also increases myocardial oxygen delivery in patients with vasospastic angina.Telmisartan is a nonpeptide ATI angiotensin II receptor antagonist. It exerts antihypertensive activity by preventing angiotensin II from binding to ATI receptors thus inhibiting the vasoconstricting and aldosterone-secreting effects of angiotensin II.Dosage & Administration of Cardotel 5 mg+40 mgEach tablet contains Telmisartan 40 mg & Amlodipine 5 mg ?Adults: One tablet should be taken once daily. Maximum Recommendation Dose: two tablets/day.Replacement Therapy: Patients receiving telmisartan and amlodipine from separate tab can instead receive. Telmisartan & Amlodipine containing the same component doses in 1 tablet once daily eg, to enhance convenience or compliance.Add-On Therapy:?Telmisartan & Amlodipine may be administered in patients whose blood pressure is not adequately controlled with amlodipine or telmisartan alone. Patients treated with amlodipine 10 mg who experience any dose-limiting adverse reactions eg, oedema, may be switched to Telmisartan & Amlodipine 40/5 mg once daily, reducing the dose of amlodipine without reducing the overall ected antihypertensive response.Individual dose titration with the components (ie, am odipine and telmisaitan) is recommended before changing to the fixed-dose combination. When clinically appropriate, direct change from monotherapy to the fixed-dose combination may be considered.Initial Therapy:?A patient may be initiated on Telmisartan & Amlodipine if it is unlikely that control of blood pressure would be achieved with a single agent.Usual Starting Dose: 40/5 mg once daily. Initial therapy with Telmisartan & Amlodipine is not recommended in patients 75 years or with hepatic impairment. Correct imbalances on intravascular volume- or salt-depletion, before initiating therapy with Telmisartan & Amlodipine tablet. Telmisartan & Amlodipine may be taken with or without food.Children and Adolescents: Telmisartan & Amlodipine is not recommended for use in patients below 18 years due to a lack of data on safety and efficacy.Elderly:?No dose adjustment is necessary for elderly patients. Limited information is available in the very elderly patients.Interaction of Cardotel 5 mg+40 mgNo interactions between the 2 components of this fixed-dose combinations have been observed in clinical studies. Interactions Common to the Combination: No drug interaction studies have been performed with Telmisartan & Amlodipine and other medicinal products.ContraindicationsHypersensitivity to telmisartan, amlodipine, dihydropyridine derivatives or to any of the excipients of Telmisartan & Amlodipine. Biliary obstructive disorders, severe hepatic impairment & hypotension, cardiogenic shock, left ventricle outflow tract obstuction, haemodynamically unstable heart failure after acute MI.Side Effects of Cardotel 5 mg+40 mgThe most common adverse reactions include Dizziness, peripheral oedema. Somnolence, migraine, headache, paraesthesia, vertigo, bradycardia, palpitations, hypotension, orthostatic hypotension, flushing, cough, abdominal pain, diarrhoea, nausea, pruritus, arthralgia, muscle spasms, myalgia, erectile dysfunction, asthenia, chest pain, fatigue, oedema, increased hepatic enzyme.Pregnancy & LactationPregnancy: Category D. There is positive evidence of human foetal risk, but the benehts from use in pregnant women may be acceptable despite the risk (e.g., if the drug is needed in a life threatening situation or for a serious disease for which safer drugs cannot be used or are ineffective).Use in lactation:?It is not known whether telmisartan and/or amlodipine are excreted in human milk. Animal studies have shown excretion of telmisartan in breast milk. Because of the potential adverse reactions in nursing infants, a decision should be made whether to discontinue nursing or to discontinue therapy, taking into account the importance of this therapy for the motherPrecautions & WarningsHepatic & renal impairment, renovascular HTN, intravascular hypovolaemia, severe CHE renal artery stenosis, primary aldosteronism, aortic or mitral valve stenosis, obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, NYHA III & IV heart failure of non-ischaemic aetiology, hyperkalaemia. Fructose intolerance. May impair ability to drive or operate machinery. Children & adolescent 18 years.Impairment of Fertility: No data from controlled clinical studies with the fixed dose combination or with the individual components are available.Separate reproductive toxicity studies with the combination of telmisartan and amlodipine have not been conducted. In preclinical studies, no effects of telmisartan on male and female fertility were observed.? Similarly, no effects on male and female fertility were reported for amlodipine.Storage ConditionsStore in a cool and dry place, protected from light. Keep out of children?s reach.

Cardon 50 mgHypertension: It is recommended to use Cardon 50 mg to treat hypertension. It could be used with other antihypertensive medications or taken alone (eg. thiazide diuretics). Renal Protection in Type-2 Diabetic Patients with Proteinuria: In hypertensive type-2 diabetics with proteinuria, which is defined as urine albumin to creatinine ratio >300 mg/g, Cardon 50 mg is advised to postpone the advancement of renal disease.Theropeutic ClassAngiotensin-ll receptor blockerPharmacologyThe first angiotensin II receptor blocker that is orally active without a peptide is Cardon 50 mg. It binds to the AT1 receptor, which is present in numerous tissues (such as the heart, kidneys, adrenal glands, and vascular smooth muscle), and inhibits several critical biological processes, such as vasoconstriction and the production of the hormone aldosterone that causes hypertension.Dosage & Administration of Cardon 50 mgFor the majority of patients, the beginning and maintenance dose is 50 mg once daily. Prior to raising the dose, 25 mg twice daily is advised if the antihypertensive impact of 50 mg once daily is insufficient. A starting dose of 25 mg once daily should be taken into consideration for individuals with intravascular volume depletion (such as those on high-dose diuretics). One or two doses of Cardon 50 mg can be given each day. From 25 mg to 100 mg is the range for the total daily dose.Dosage of Cardon 50 mgFor the majority of patients, the beginning and maintenance dose is 50 mg once daily.

One or two doses of Cardon 50 mg can be given each day. From 25 mg to 100 mg is the range for the total daily dose.Interaction of Cardon 50 mgLevels of the Cardon 50 mg active metabolite are decreased by rifampicin and fluconazole. The antihypertensive effects of hydrochlorothiazide and Cardon 50 mg used together may be potentiated. Increases in serum potassium may result from the concurrent use of potassium-sparing diuretics (such as spironolactone, triamterene, and amiloride), potassium supplements, or salt substitutes containing potassium. The non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medicine indomethacin may lessen the antihypertensive effects of losartan. The risk of renal impairment is increased by the concurrent use of an ACE inhibitor, an angiotensin receptor antagonist, an anti-inflammatory medication, and a thiazide diuretic.ContraindicationsPregnant women and individuals who are hypersensitive to any ingredient in this medication should not use Cardon 50 mg. Those with diabetes shouldn't take Aliskiren and Cardon 50 mg together.Side Effects of Cardon 50 mgCardon 50 mg side effects are minor and short-lived in nature. Dizziness, diarrhea, nasal congestion, coughing, and upper respiratory infections are the most frequent adverse effects. Fatigue, oedema, chest pain, nausea, headaches, and pharyngitis are other adverse effects.Pregnancy & LactationCategory D for pregnancies. If Cardon 50 mg is given during the second or third trimester of pregnancy, the risk to the fetus increases. Given that numerous medicines are excreted in human milk and that it is unknown whether Cardon 50 mg is one of them, a choice should be taken regarding whether to stop breastfeeding or stop taking the medication, taking into account the significance of the medication to the mother.Precautions & WarningsIn addition to increasing fetal and neonatal morbidity and mortality, the use of Cardon 50 mg throughout the second and third trimesters of pregnancy decreases fetal renal function. Symptomatic hypotension may happen in people who are intravascularly volume-depleted (such as those taking high-dose diuretics). Patients with cirrhosis have a considerably higher plasma concentration of Cardon 50 mg. Patients with renal impairment have experienced changes in renal function, including renal failure.Storage ConditionsKeep dry and away from heat and light. Keep out of children's reach.Drug ClassesAngiotensin-ll receptor blockerMode Of ActionThe first angiotensin II receptor blocker that is orally active without a peptide is Cardon 50 mg.
