1. What micardisplus is and what it is used for

MicardisPlus is a combination of two active substances, telmisartan and hydrochlorothiazide in one tablet. Both of these substances help to control high blood pressure.

Telmisartan belongs to a group of medicines called angiotensin II receptor antagonists. Angiotensin-II is a substance produced in your body which causes your blood vessels to narrow thus increasing your blood pressure. Telmisartan blocks the effect of angiotensin II so that the blood vessels relax, and your blood pressure is lowered.

Hydrochlorothiazide belongs to a group of medicines called thiazide diuretics, which cause your urine output to increase, leading to a lowering of your blood pressure. High blood pressure, if not treated, can damage blood vessels in several organs, which could lead sometimes to heart attack, heart or kidney failure, stroke, or blindness. There are usually no symptoms of high blood pressure before damage occurs. Thus it is important to regularly measure blood pressure to verify if it is within the normal range. MicardisPlus is used to treat high blood pressure (essential hypertension) in adults whose blood pressure is not controlled enough when telmisartan is used alone.

2. What you need to know before you take micardisplus

Do not take MicardisPlus

if you are allergic to telmisartan or any of the other ingredients of this medicine (listed in section 6)

if you are allergic to hydrochlorothiazide or to any other sulfonamide-derived medicines.

if you are more than 3 months pregnant. (It is also better to avoid MicardisPlus in early pregnancy see pregnancy section.)

if you have severe liver problems such as cholestasis or biliary obstruction (problems with drainage of the bile from the liver and gall bladder) or any other severe liver disease.

if you have severe kidney disease.

if your doctor determines that you have low potassium levels or high calcium levels in your blood that do not get better with treatment.

if you have diabetes or impaired kidney function and you are treated with a blood pressure lowering medicine containing aliskiren. If any of the above applies to you, tell your doctor or pharmacist before taking MicardisPlus. Warnings and precautions Talk to your doctor before taking MicardisPlus if you are suffering or have ever suffered from any of the following conditions or illnesses:

Low blood pressure (hypotension), likely to occur if you are dehydrated (excessive loss of body water) or have salt deficiency due to diuretic therapy (water tablets), low-salt diet, diarrhoea, vomiting, or haemodialysis.

Kidney disease or kidney transplant.

Renal artery stenosis (narrowing of the blood vessels to one or both kidneys).

Liver disease.

Heart trouble.

Diabetes.

Gout.

Raised aldosterone levels (water and salt retention in the body along with imbalance of various blood minerals).

Systemic lupus erythematosus (also called lupus or SLE ) a disease where the body s immune system attacks the body.

The active ingredient hydrochlorothiazide can cause an unusual reaction, resulting in a decrease in vision and eye pain. These could be symptoms of fluid accumulation in the vascular layer of the eye (choroidal effusion) or an increase of pressure in your eye and can happen within hours to weeks of taking MicardisPlus. This can lead to permanent vision impairment, if not treated.

If you have had skin cancer or if you develop an unexpected skin lesion during the treatment. Treatment with hydrochlorothiazide, particularly long term use with high doses, may increase the risk of some types of skin and lip cancer (non-melanoma skin cancer). Protect your skin from sun exposure and UV rays while taking MicardisPlus. Talk to your doctor before taking MicardisPlus:

if you are taking any of the following medicines used to treat high blood pressure:

  • an ACE-inhibitor (for example enalapril, lisinopril, ramipril), in particular if you have diabetes-related kidney problems.
  • aliskiren. Your doctor may check your kidney function, blood pressure, and the amount of electrolytes (e.g. potassium) in your blood at regular intervals. See also information under the heading Do not take MicardisPlus .

if you are taking digoxin.

Lithium containing medicines to treat some types of depression.

Medicines associated with low blood potassium (hypokalaemia) such as other diuretics, ('water tablets'), laxatives (e.g. castor oil), corticosteroids (e.g. prednisone), ACTH (a hormone), amphotericin (an antifungal medicine), carbenoxolone (used to treat mouth ulcers), penicillin G sodium (an antibiotic), and salicylic acid and derivatives.

Medicines that may increase blood potassium levels such as potassium-sparing diuretics, potassium supplements, salt substitutes containing potassium, ACE inhibitors, cyclosporin (an immunosuppressant medicine) and other medicinal products such as heparin sodium (an anticoagulant).

Medicines that are affected by changes of the blood potassium level such as heart medicines (e.g. digoxin) or medicines to control the rhythm of your heart (e.g. quinidine, disopyramide, amiodarone, sotalol), medicines used for mental disorders (e.g. thioridazine, chlorpromazine, levomepromazine) and other medicines such as certain antibiotics (e.g. sparfloxacine, pentamidine) or certain medicines to treat allergic reactions (e.g. terfenadine).

Medicines for the treatment of diabetes (insulins or oral agents such as metformin).

Cholestyramine and colestipol, medicines for lowering blood fat levels.

Medicines to increase blood pressure, such as noradrenaline.

Muscle relaxing medicines, such as tubocurarine.

Calcium supplements and/or vitamin D supplements.

Anti-cholinergic medicines (medicines used to treat a variety of disorders such as gastrointestinal cramps, urinary bladder spasm, asthma, motion sickness, muscular spasms, Parkinson's disease and as an aid to anaesthesia) such as atropine and biperiden.

Amantadine (medicine used to treat Parkinson s disease and also used to treat or prevent certain illnesses caused by viruses).

Other medicines used to treat high blood pressure, corticosteroids, painkillers (such as non- steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs [NSAIDs]), medicines to treat cancer, gout, or arthritis.

If you are taking an ACE-inhibitor or aliskiren (see also information under the headings Do not take MicardisPlus and Warnings and precautions ).

Digoxin. MicardisPlus may increase the blood pressure lowering effect of other medicines used to treat high blood pressure or of medicines with blood pressure lowering potential (e.g. baclofen, amifostine). Furthermore, low blood pressure may be aggravated by alcohol, barbiturates, narcotics or antidepressants. You may notice this as dizziness when standing up. You should consult with your doctor if you need to adjust the dose of your other medicine while taking MicardisPlus. The effect of MicardisPlus may be reduced when you take NSAIDs (non steroidal anti-inflammatory medicines, e.g. aspirin or ibuprofen). MicardisPlus with food and alcohol You can take MicardisPlus with or without food. Avoid taking alcohol until you have talked to your doctor. Alcohol may make your blood pressure fall more and/or increase the risk of you becoming dizzy or feeling faint. Pregnancy and breast-feeding Pregnancy You must tell your doctor if you think you are (or might become) pregnant. Your doctor will normally advise you to stop taking MicardisPlus before you become pregnant or as soon as you know you are pregnant and will advise you to take another medicine instead of MicardisPlus. MicardisPlus is not recommended during pregnancy, and must not be taken when more than 3 months pregnant, as it may cause serious harm to your baby if used after the third month of pregnancy. Breast-feeding Tell your doctor if you are breast-feeding or about to start breast-feeding. MicardisPlus is not recommended for mothers who are breast-feeding, and your doctor may choose another treatment for you if you wish to breast-feed. Driving and using machines Some people feel dizzy or tired when taking MicardisPlus. If you feel dizzy or tired, do not drive or operate machinery. MicardisPlus contains sodium This medicine contains less than 1 mmol sodium (23 mg) per tablet, that is to say essentially sodium- free . MicardisPlus contains milk sugar (lactose) If you have been told by your doctor that you have an intolerance to some sugars, contact your doctor before taking this medicine. MicardisPlus contains sorbitol This medicine contains 169 mg sorbitol in each tablet.

3. How to take micardisplus

If you take more MicardisPlus than you should If you accidentally take too many tablets you may experience symptoms such as low blood pressure and rapid heartbeat. Slow heartbeat, dizziness, vomiting, reduced kidney function including kidney failure, have also been reported. Due to the hydrochlorothiazide component, markedly low blood pressure and low blood levels of potassium can also happen, which may result in nausea, sleepiness and muscle cramps and/or irregular heartbeat associated with the concomitant use of medicines such as digitalis or certain anti-arrhythmic treatments. Contact your doctor, pharmacist, or your nearest hospital emergency department immediately. If you forget to take MicardisPlus If you forget to take a dose, do not worry.
