Why is Candesartan and Hydrochlorothiazide used - Generic Drug? What is it for?
The name of the medicine is CANDESARTAN and HYDROCHLOROTHIAZIDE DOC Generici 8 mg / 12.5 mg tablets and CANDESARTAN and HYDROCHLOROTHIAZIDE DOC Generici 16 mg / 12.5 mg tablets.
This medicine contains two active substances: candesartan cilexetil and hydrochlorothiazide.
These work together to lower blood pressure
- Candesartan cilexetil belongs to a group of medicines called angiotensin II receptor antagonists. It works by causing the blood vessels to relax and widen. This helps to reduce blood pressure.
- Hydrochlorothiazide belongs to a group of medicines called diuretics (which help you urinate). This helps the body eliminate water and salts such as sodium in the urine. This helps to reduce blood pressure.
Your doctor may prescribe Candesartan and Hydrochlorothiazide if your blood pressure has not been adequately controlled by candesartan cilexetil or hydrochlorothiazide alone.
Contraindications When Candesartan and Hydrochlorothiazide should not be used - Generic Drug
Do not use Candesartan and Hydrochlorothiazide DOC Generici:
- if you are allergic to candesartan cilexetil or hydrochlorothiazide or any of the other ingredients of this medicine (listed in section 6)

04.0 CLINICAL INFORMATION -
04.1 Therapeutic indications -
CANDESARTAN and HYDROCHLOROTHIAZIDE DOC Generici is indicated for:
• Treatment of essential hypertension in adult patients with blood pressure inadequately controlled by monotherapy with candesartan cilexetil or hydrochlorothiazide.
04.2 Posology and method of administration -
Dosage
The recommended dose of Candesartan / Hydrochlorothiazide DOC Generici is one tablet once a day.
Dose titration with the individual components (candesartan cilexetil and hydrochlorothiazide) is recommended. If clinically appropriate, a direct switch from treatment with monotherapy to CANDESARTAN and HYDROCHLOROTHIAZIDE DOC Generici may be considered. Dose titration of candesartan cilexetil is recommended when switching from hydrochlorothiazide monotherapy. Candesartan / HYDROCHLOROTHIAZIDE DOC Generici can be administered to patients whose blood pressure is not adequately controlled by monotherapy with candesartan cilexetil or hydrochlorothiazide or Candesartan and hydrochlorothiazide at lower doses (see sections 4.3, 4.4, 4.5 and 5.1).
The maximum antihypertensive effect is usually achieved within 4 weeks of starting treatment.
Special populations
Elderly population
No dosage adjustment is necessary in elderly patients.
Intravascular volume depletion
In patients at risk of hypotension, such as patients with possible intravascular volume depletion, a progressive increase of candesartan cilexetil is recommended (a starting dose of 4 mg may be considered in these patients).
Kidney damage
In these patients it is preferable to administer loop diuretics rather than thiazides. Dose titration of candesartan cilexetil is recommended in patients with mild to moderate renal impairment (creatinine clearance is? 30 ml / min / 1.73 m² body surface area (BSA)) before switching to CANDESARTAN and HYDROCHLOROTHIAZIDE DOC Generici (the recommended starting dose of candesartan cilexetil in these patients is 4 mg). The use of Candesartan and Hydrochlorothiazide is contraindicated in patients with severe renal impairment (creatinine clearance
Hepatic impairment
Dose titration of candesartan cilexetil is recommended in patients with mild to moderate hepatic impairment prior to switching to CANDESARTAN / HYDROCHLOROTHIAZIDE DOC Generici (the recommended starting dose of candesartan cilexetil is 4 mg in these patients).
The use of Candesartan and Hydrochlorothiazide is contraindicated in patients with severe hepatic impairment and / or cholestasis (see section 4.3).
Pediatric population
The safety and efficacy of Candesartan / Hydrochlorothiazide in newborn children and up to 18 years of age have not been established. No data are available.
Method of administration
Oral use.
CANDESARTAN and HYDROCHLOROTHIAZIDE DOC Generici can be administered regardless of food intake.
The bioavailability of candesartan is not affected by food.
There is no clinically significant interaction between hydrochlorothiazide and food.
04.3 Contraindications -
• Hypersensitivity to the active substances, to sulfonamide derivatives or to any of the excipients listed in section 6.1. Hydrochlorothiazide is a sulfonamide derivative.

• Severe impairment of renal function (creatinine clearance
• Severe impairment of liver function and / or cholestasis.
• Refractory hypokalaemia and hypercalcemia.
• Gout.
The concomitant use of Candesartan and Hydrochlorothiazide with aliskiren-containing medicines is contraindicated in patients with diabetes mellitus or renal impairment (glomerular filtration rate GFR
04.4 Special warnings and appropriate precautions for use -
Altered kidney function / kidney transplant
In these patients it is preferable to administer loop diuretics rather than thiazides. When CANDESARTAN / HYDROCHLOROTHIAZIDE DOC Generici is administered to patients with impaired renal function, it is recommended that potassium, creatinine and uric acid levels be monitored periodically.
The use of Candesartan and Hydrochlorothiazide in patients who have undergone a recent kidney transplant has not been tested.
Renal artery stenosis
Medicinal products that affect the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system, including angiotensin II receptor antagonists (AIIRAs), may increase blood urea nitrogen and creatinine in patients with bilateral renal artery stenosis or renal artery stenosis in the presence of single kidney.
Dual blockade of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS)
There is evidence that concomitant use of ACE inhibitors, angiotensin II receptor blockers or aliskiren increases the risk of hypotension, hyperkalaemia and decreased renal function (including acute renal failure). Dual blockade of the RAAS through the combined use of ACE inhibitors, angiotensin II receptor blockers or aliskiren is therefore not recommended (see sections 4.5 and 5.1).
If dual block therapy is considered absolutely necessary, this should only be done under the supervision of a specialist and with close and frequent monitoring of kidney function, electrolytes and blood pressure.
ACE inhibitors and angiotensin II receptor antagonists should not be used concomitantly in patients with diabetic nephropathy.
Intravascular volume depletion
Symptomatic hypotension may occur in patients with intravascular volume and / or sodium depletion, as described for other agents acting on the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system. Therefore, the use of Candesartan and HYDROCHLOROTHIAZIDE DOC Generici is not recommended until this condition has been corrected.
Anesthesia and surgery
Hypotension due to blockade of the renin-angiotensin system may occur during anesthesia and surgery in patients treated with angiotensin II antagonists. Very rarely, hypotension can be so severe as to justify the use of intravenous fluids and / or vasopressor substances.
Altered liver function
Thiazides should be used with caution in patients with impaired hepatic function or progressive liver disease, as minimal changes in fluid and electrolyte balance can cause hepatic coma. There is no clinical experience with Candesartan and Hydrochlorothiazide in patients with impaired liver function.
Aortic and mitral stenosis (obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy)
As with other vasodilators, special caution is recommended in patients with haemodynamically relevant aortic or mitral stenosis, or hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy.
Primary hyperaldosteronism
Patients with primary aldosteronism generally do not respond to antihypertensive drugs which work by inhibiting the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system. Therefore the use of Candesartan and Hydrochlorothiazide DOC Generici is not recommended in this population.
Electrolyte imbalance
Periodic determination of serum electrolytes should be performed at appropriate intervals. Thiazides, including hydrochlorothiazide, can cause fluid or electrolyte imbalance (hypercalcaemia, hypokalaemia, hyponatremia, hypomagnesaemia and hypochloraemic alkalosis).
Thiazide diuretics may decrease urinary calcium excretion and cause intermittent and mild increases in serum calcium concentrations. Marked hypercalcaemia may be a sign of latent hyperparathyroidism. Thiazides must be discontinued before performing parathyroid function tests.
Hydrochlorothiazide dose-dependently increases urinary excretion of potassium which may induce hypokalaemia. This effect of hydrochlorothiazide seems less evident when combined with candesartan cilexetil. The risk of hypokalaemia may be increased in patients with cirrhosis of the liver, with rapid diuresis, in patients with inadequate oral intake of electrolytes and in patients on concomitant therapy with corticosteroids or adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH).
Treatment with candesartan cilexetil can cause hyperkalaemia, especially in the presence of heart failure and / or impaired renal function. Concomitant use of Candesartan and HYDROCHLOROTHIAZIDE DOC Generici and potassium-sparing diuretics, potassium supplements, potassium-containing salt substitutes or other drugs that may increase serum potassium levels (eg sodium heparin) may lead to increases in potassium.
Potassium monitoring should be performed as needed.
Thiazides increase urinary excretion of magnesium, which can induce hypomagnesaemia.
Metabolic and endocrine effects
Treatment with a thiazide diuretic can impair glucose tolerance. Dosage adjustment of antidiabetic drugs, including insulin, may be necessary. Latent diabetes mellitus may become manifest during thiazide therapy. Increases in cholesterol and triglyceride levels have been associated with thiazide diuretic therapy. At the doses contained in Candesartan and Hydrochlorothiazide DOC Generici only minimal effects have been reported. Thiazide diuretics increase uricaemia and can cause gout in predisposed patients.
Photosensitivity
Photosensitivity reactions have been reported during the use of thiazide diuretics (see section 4.8). In case of a photosensitivity reaction it is recommended to stop treatment. If it is necessary to restart treatment, it is recommended to protect the exposed parts of the body in sunlight or artificial UVA rays.
General aspects
In patients whose vascular tone and renal function are predominantly dependent on the activity of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (eg. Patients with severe congestive heart failure or with underlying renal disease, including renal artery stenosis) , treatment with other medicinal products affecting this system, including AIIRAs, has been associated with acute hypotension, BUN, oliguria or, rarely, acute renal failure. As with other antihypertensive drugs, excessive decrease in blood pressure in patients with ischemic heart disease or atherosclerotic cerebrovascular disease can lead to myocardial infarction or stroke.Hypersensitivity reactions to hydrochlorothiazide may occur, regardless of whether or not patients have a history of allergy or bronchial asthma, but are more likely in this type of patient. Exacerbation or activation has been reported with the use of thiazide diuretics. of systemic lupus erythematosus.
The antihypertensive effect of Candesartan and HYDROCHLOROTHIAZIDE DOC Generici may be enhanced by other antihypertensive agents.
This medicinal product contains lactose as an excipient, and therefore patients with rare hereditary problems of galactose intolerance, the Lapp lactase deficiency or glucose-galactose malabsorption syndrome should not take this medicinal product..
Pregnancy
Angiotensin II receptor antagonist therapy (AIIRAs) should not be initiated during pregnancy. Alternative antihypertensive treatments with a proven safety profile for use in pregnancy should be used for patients planning pregnancy. unless continued AIIRA therapy is considered essential. When pregnancy is diagnosed, treatment with AIIRAs should be stopped immediately and, if appropriate, alternative therapy instituted (see sections 4.3 and 4.6).
04.5 Interactions with other medicinal products and other forms of interaction -
Clinical trial data have shown that dual blockade of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) through the combined use of ACE inhibitors, angiotensin II receptor blockers or aliskiren is associated with a higher frequency of adverse events. such as hypotension, hyperkalaemia and decreased renal function (including acute renal failure) compared to the use of a single agent active on the RAAS system (see sections 4.3, 4.4 and 5.1).
Compounds that have been tested in clinical pharmacokinetic studies include warfarin, digoxin, oral contraceptives (i.e. ethinyl estradiol / levonorgestrel), glibenclamide and nifedipine. No clinically relevant pharmacokinetic interactions were identified in these studies.
The potassium-depleting effect of hydrochlorothiazide could be potentiated by other drugs associated with potassium loss and hypokalaemia (eg, other kaliuretic diuretics, laxatives, amphotericin, carbenoxolone, penicillin sodium G, salicylic acid derivatives, steroids, ACTH) .
Concomitant use of Candesartan and HYDROCHLOROTHIAZIDE DOC Generici and potassium-sparing diuretics, potassium supplements or salt substitutes containing potassium or other medicinal products that may increase serum potassium levels (eg sodium heparin), may lead to increases in potassium Monitoring of potassium must be done in an appropriate manner in consideration (see section 4.4).
Diuretic-induced hypokalaemia and hypomagnesaemia predispose to the potential cardiotoxic effects of digitalis glycosides and antiarrhythmics. It is recommended that potassium levels be monitored periodically when CANDESARTAN / HYDROCHLOROTHIAZIDE DOC Generici is administered with these drugs and with the following drugs that can induce torsades de pointes:
• Class Ia antiarrhythmics (eg quinidine, hydroquinidine, disopyramide)
• Class III antiarrhythmics (eg amiodarone, sotalol, dofetilide, ibutilide)
• Some antipsychotics (eg thioridazine, chlorpromazine, levomepromazine, trifluoperazine, ciamemazine, sulpiride, sultopride, amisulpride, thiapride, pimozide, haloperidol, droperidol)
• Others (eg bepridil, cisapride, difemanil, iv erythromycin, halofantrine, cheetanserine, mizolastine, pentamidine, sparfloxacin, terfinadine, vincamine iv)
Reversible increases in serum lithium concentrations and toxic reactions have been reported during concomitant administration of lithium with Angiotensin Converting Enzyme (ACE) inhibitors or hydrochlorothiazide. A similar effect has been reported with AIIRAs. The use of candesartan and hydrochlorothiazide with lithium is not recommended. If the combination proves necessary, careful monitoring of serum lithium levels is recommended.
When AIIRAs are administered simultaneously with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) (eg, selective COX-2 inhibitors, acetylsalicylic acid (> 3 g / day) and non-selective NSAIDs), "attenuation of the antihypertensive effect" may occur. .
As with ACE inhibitors, concomitant use of AIIRAs and NSAIDs may lead to an increased risk of worsening of renal function including possible acute renal failure and increased serum potassium levels, especially in patients with pre-existing renal impairment. The combination should be administered with caution, especially in the elderly. Patients should be adequately hydrated and monitoring of renal function should be considered at the initiation of concomitant therapy and periodically thereafter.
The diuretic, natriuretic and antihypertensive effect of hydrochlorothiazide is attenuated by non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs).
Absorption of hydrochlorothiazide is reduced by colestipol or cholestyramine.
The effect of non-depolarising musculoskeletal relaxants (eg tubocurarine) can be enhanced by hydrochlorothiazide.
Thiazide diuretics can increase serum calcium levels due to decreased excretion. If calcium or vitamin D supplements are to be prescribed, serum calcium levels should be monitored and dosage adjusted accordingly.
The hyperglycemic effect of beta-blockers and diazoxide may be potentiated by thiazides.
Anticholinergic agents (e.g., atropine, biperidene) may increase the bioavailability of thiazide diuretics by reducing gastrointestinal motility and stomach emptying rate.
Thiazides may increase the risk of adverse events caused by amantadine.
Thiazides may reduce the renal excretion of cytotoxic drugs (eg, cyclophosphamide, methotrexate) and enhance their myelosuppressive effects.
Postural hypotension can be aggravated by the simultaneous intake of alcohol, barbiturates or anesthetics.
Treatment with thiazide diuretics can impair glucose tolerance. Dosage adjustments of antidiabetic drugs, including insulin, may be necessary. Metformin should be used with caution due to the risk of lactic acidosis which may result from "possible renal insufficiency linked to" hydrochlorothiazide.
Hydrochlorothiazide may cause a decrease in the arterial response to pressor amines (eg, adrenaline), but not such as to abolish the pressure effect.
Hydrochlorothiazide may increase the risk of acute renal failure, especially with high doses of iodinated contrast media.
Concomitant treatment with cyclosporine may increase the risk of hyperuricaemia and gout-type complications.
Concomitant treatment with baclofen, amifostine, tricyclic or neuroleptic antidepressants may result in an increase in the antihypertensive effect and induce hypotension.

The use of Angiotensin II Receptor Antagonists (AIIRA) is not recommended during the first trimester of pregnancy (see section 4.4). The use of AIIRAs is contraindicated during the second and third trimesters of pregnancy (see sections 4.3 and 4.4).
Epidemiological evidence on the risk of teratogenicity following exposure to ACE inhibitors during the first trimester of pregnancy has not been conclusive; however a small increase in risk cannot be excluded. Although no controlled epidemiological data on risk with angiotensin II receptor antagonists (AIIRAs) are available, a similar risk may also exist for this class of medicinal products. An alternative antihypertensive treatment should be used for patients planning pregnancy. with a proven safety profile for use in pregnancy unless continued therapy with an AIIRA is considered essential.
When pregnancy is diagnosed, treatment with AIIRAs should be stopped immediately and, if appropriate, alternative therapy should be started.
Exposure to AIIRAs during the second and third trimester of pregnancy is known to induce fetal toxicity (decreased renal function, oligohydramnios, skull ossification retardation) and neonatal toxicity (renal failure, hypotension, hyperkalaemia) in women (see section 5.3).
Should exposure to AIIRAs have occurred from the second trimester of pregnancy, ultrasound check of renal function and skull is recommended.
Neonates whose mothers have taken AIIRAs should be closely monitored for hypotension (see sections 4.3 and 4.4).
Hydrochlorothiazide:
Experience with the use of hydrochlorothiazide during pregnancy is limited, especially during the first trimester. Animal studies are not enough.
Hydrochlorothiazide crosses the placenta. Considering the pharmacological mechanism of action of hydrochlorothiazide, its use during the second and third trimester of pregnancy can compromise fetal-placental perfusion and cause fetal and neonatal effects such as jaundice, disturbances in electrolyte balance and thrombocytopenia.
Hydrochlorothiazide should not be used for gestational edema, gestational hypertension or preeclampsia, due to the risk of decreased plasma volume and placental hypoperfusion, with no beneficial effect on the course of the disease.
Hydrochlorothiazide should not be used for essential hypertension in pregnant women, except in rare situations where no other alternative treatment can be used.
Feeding time
Angiotensin II Receptor Antagonists (AIIRA):
Since no information is available on the use of Candesartan and Hydrochlorothiazide during breastfeeding, the use of Candesartan and Hydrochlorothiazide is not recommended and alternative treatments with a known better safety profile during breastfeeding are preferable, especially in the case of newborns or premature babies.
Hydrochlorothiazide:
Hydrochlorothiazide is excreted in human breast milk in minimal quantities. Thiazides, by causing intense diuresis in high doses, can inhibit milk production. The use of Candesartan and Hydrochlorothiazide during breastfeeding is not recommended.
04.7 Effects on ability to drive and use machines -
No studies on the ability to drive and use machines have been performed. When driving vehicles or using machines, it should be taken into account that occasionally dizziness or dizziness may occur with the use of Candesartan and Hydrochlorothiazide fatigue.
04.8 Undesirable effects -
In controlled clinical trials performed with candesartan cilexetil / hydrochlorothiazide, adverse events were mild and transient. Discontinuation of treatment due to adverse events was similar with candesartan cilexetil / hydrochlorothiazide (2.3-3.3%) and placebo (2.7-4.3%).
In clinical trials with candesartan cilexetil / hydrochlorothiazide adverse reactions were limited to those previously reported with candesartan cilexetil and / or hydrochlorothiazide.
The table below presents the adverse reactions reported with candesartan cilexetil in clinical studies and post marketing experience. From a comprehensive analysis of data from clinical trials in hypertensive patients, adverse reactions with candesartan cilexetil were defined on the basis of incidence. adverse events with candesartan cilexetil at least 1% higher than the incidence observed with placebo.
The frequencies used in the tables throughout section 4.8 are:
Very common (≥1 / 10), Common (≥1 / 100,
The table below presents adverse reactions reported with hydrochlorothiazide alone, usually at doses of 25 mg or higher.
Reporting of suspected adverse reactions
Reporting of suspected adverse reactions occurring after authorization of the medicinal product is important as it allows continuous monitoring of the benefit / risk balance of the medicinal product. Healthcare professionals are asked to report any suspected adverse reactions via the national reporting system. at the address www.agenziafarmaco.gov.it/it/responsabili.
04.9 Overdose -
Symptoms
Based on pharmacological considerations, the main manifestations of an overdose of candesartan cilexetil are expected to be symptomatic hypotension and dizziness. In individual reports of overdose (up to 672 mg candesartan cilexetil), the patient recovered without consequences.
The main manifestation of hydrochlorothiazide overdose is acute loss of fluids and electrolytes. Symptoms such as dizziness, hypotension, thirst, tachycardia, ventricular arrhythmia, sedation / impaired consciousness and muscle cramps have also been observed.
Methods of intervention in case of overdose
No specific information is available in the treatment of overdose with Candesartan and Hydrochlorothiazide. In the event of an overdose it is however recommended to take the following measures.
When indicated, induction of vomiting or gastric lavage should be considered. If symptomatic hypotension occurs, symptomatic treatment should be instituted and vital functions monitored. The patient should be placed in a supine position with legs elevated. . If this is not sufficient, the plasma volume should be increased by infusion of isotonic saline. Serum electrolytes and acid-base balance should be monitored and corrected if necessary. Sympathomimetic drugs can be administered if the above measures were insufficient.
Candesartan cannot be removed by hemodialysis. The amount of hydrochlorothiazide that can be removed by hemodialysis is not known.
05.0 PHARMACOLOGICAL PROPERTIES -
05.1 "Pharmacodynamic properties -
Pharmacotherapeutic group: Angiotensin II antagonists + diuretics, ATC code C09D A06.
Angiotensin II is the main vasoactive hormone of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system and plays a role in the pathophysiology of hypertension and other cardiovascular diseases. It also plays a role in the pathogenesis of hypertrophy and organ damage. Major physiological effects of angiotensin II such as vasoconstriction, stimulation of aldosterone, regulation of salt and water balance and stimulation of cell growth, are mediated through the type 1 receptor (AT1).
Candesartan cilexetil is a pro-drug which is rapidly converted to the active substance, candesartan, by ester hydrolysis during absorption from the gastrointestinal tract. Candesartan is AIIRA selective for AT1 receptors, with close binding and slow dissociation from the receptor. He has no competitive activity.
Candesartan does not affect ACE or other enzyme systems usually associated with the use of ACE inhibitors.Since there is no effect on the breakdown of kinins or the metabolism of other substances, such as substance P, angiotensin II receptor antagonists are unlikely to be associated with cough. In controlled clinical trials comparing candesartan cilexetil with ACE inhibitors, the incidence of cough was lower in patients treated with candesartan cilexetil. Candesartan does not bind or block other hormone receptors or ion channels that are important in cardiovascular regulation. L "AT1 receptor antagonism manifests itself in dose-related increases in plasma levels of renin, angiotensin I and angiotensin II, and in a decrease in plasma aldosterone concentrations.
The effects of candesartan cilexetil 8-16 mg (mean dose 12 mg), once daily, on cardiovascular morbidity and mortality were evaluated in a randomized clinical trial with 4,937 elderly patients (age 70-89 years; of which 21% aged 80 years or older) with mild to moderate hypertension followed for a mean of 3.7 years (Study on Cognition and Prognosis in the Elderly). Patients received candesartan or placebo with other additional antihypertensive treatments as needed. Blood pressure was reduced from 166/90 to 145/80 mmHg in the candesartan group, and from 167/90 to 149/82 mmHg in the control group. There was no statistically significant difference in the primary end point, major cardiovascular events (cardiovascular mortality, non-fatal stroke and non-fatal myocardial infarction). There were 26.7 events per 1,000 patient-years in the candesartan group vs 30.0 events per 1,000 patient-years in the control group (relative risk 0.89, 95% CI 0.75 - 1.06, p = 0.19).
Hydrochlorothiazide inhibits the active reabsorption of sodium, mainly in the distal renal tubules and promotes the excretion of sodium, chloride and water. Renal excretion of potassium and magnesium increases in a dose-dependent manner, while calcium is reabsorbed to a greater extent. Hydrochlorothiazide decreases plasma volume and extracellular fluids and reduces cardiac output and blood pressure. During long-term therapy, the reduction of peripheral resistance contributes to the reduction of blood pressure.
Extensive clinical studies have shown that long-term treatment with hydrochlorothiazide reduces the risk of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality.
Candesartan and hydrochlorothiazide have additive antihypertensive effects.
In hypertensive patients, candesartan cilexetil / hydrochlorothiazide causes a dose-dependent and long-lasting reduction in blood pressure without reflex increases in heart rate. No severe or excessive first dose hypotension or rebound effects were observed after discontinuation of treatment. Following a single dose administration of candesartan cilexetil / hydrochlorothiazide, the onset of the antihypertensive effect usually occurs within 2 hours. With continued treatment, the maximum antihypertensive effect on blood pressure is achieved within 4 weeks and is maintained during long-term treatment. Candesartan cilexetil / hydrochlorothiazide tablets administered once daily results in an effective and homogeneous reduction in blood pressure over 24 hours, with a small difference in the ratio between the peak and trough effects during the interval between doses. a randomized, double-blind study, candesartan cilexetil / hydrochlorothiazide 16 mg + 12.5 mg once daily reduced blood pressure significantly more and controlled more patients than the combination losartan / hydrochlorothiazide 50 mg / 12.5 mg once daily.
In double-blind, randomized studies, the incidence of adverse events, especially cough, was lower during treatment with candesartan cilexetil / hydrochlorothiazide compared to treatment with combinations of ACE inhibitors and hydrochlorothiazide.
Candesartan cilexetil / hydrochlorothiazide is equally effective in all patients regardless of age and gender.
There are currently no data on the use of candesartan cilexetil / hydrochlorothiazide in patients with renal disease / nephropathy, reduced left ventricular function / congestive heart failure and post-myocardial infarction.
Two large randomized controlled trials (ONTARGET (ONgoing Telmisartan Alone and in combination with Ramipril Global Endpoint Trial) and VA Nephron-D (The Veterans Affairs Nephropathy in Diabetes)) have examined the use of the combination of an ACE inhibitor with an antagonist of the angiotensin II receptor.
ONTARGET was a study conducted in patients with a history of cardiovascular or cerebrovascular disease, or type 2 diabetes mellitus associated with evidence of organ damage. VA NEPHRON-D was a study conducted in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and diabetic nephropathy.
These studies did not demonstrate any significant beneficial effect on renal and / or cardiovascular outcomes and mortality, while an increased risk of hyperkalaemia, acute renal injury and / or hypotension was observed compared to monotherapy. These results are also relevant for other ACE inhibitors and angiotensin II receptor antagonists, given their similar pharmacodynamic properties.
ACE inhibitors and angiotensin II receptor antagonists should therefore not be used simultaneously in patients with diabetic nephropathy.
ALTITUDE (Aliskiren Trial in Type 2 Diabetes Using Cardiovascular and Renal Disease Endpoints) was a study aimed at verifying the advantage of adding aliskiren to standard therapy of an ACE inhibitor or angiotensin II receptor antagonist in patients with diabetes mellitus. type 2 and chronic kidney disease, cardiovascular disease, or both. The study was terminated early due to an increased risk of adverse events. Cardiovascular death and stroke were both numerically more frequent in the aliskiren group than in the placebo group, and adverse events and serious adverse events of interest (hyperkalaemia, hypotension and renal dysfunction) were reported more frequently in the aliskiren group than in the placebo group.
05.2 "Pharmacokinetic properties -
Concomitant administration of candesartan cilexetil and hydrochlorothiazide did not produce a clinically significant effect on the pharmacokinetics of either of the components.
Absorption and distribution
Candesartan cilexetil
Following oral administration, candesartan cilexetil is converted to the active substance candesartan. The absolute bioavailability of candesartan is approximately 40% after administration of an oral solution of candesartan cilexetil. The relative bioavailability of the tablet formulation of candesartan cilexetil compared to the oral solution is approximately 34% with very little variability. Mean peak serum concentrations (Cmax) are achieved within 3-4 hours of tablet intake. Serum concentrations of candesartan increase linearly with increasing doses in the therapeutic range. No differences in candesartan pharmacokinetics were observed in either sex. The area under the curve (AUC) of serum concentration over time is not significantly affected by food.
Candesartan is highly bound to plasma proteins (more than 99%). The apparent volume of distribution is 0.1 l / kg.
Hydrochlorothiazide
Hydrochlorothiazide is rapidly absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract with an absolute bioavailability of approximately 70%. Concomitant administration with food increases absorption by approximately 15%. Bioavailability may decrease in patients with heart failure and pronounced edema.
Plasma protein binding of hydrochlorothiazide is approximately 60%. The apparent volume of distribution is approximately 0.8 l / kg.
Biotransformation and elimination
Candesartan cilexetil
Candesartan is eliminated almost entirely unchanged via the urinary and biliary routes and only to a lesser extent via hepatic metabolism (CYP2C9). Available interaction studies indicate no effect on CYP2C9 and CYP3A4. Based on in vitro data, no in vivo interactions are expected with drugs whose metabolism depends on cytochrome P450 isoenzymes CYP1A2, CYP2A6, CYP2C9, CYP2C19, CYP2D6, CYP2E1 or CYP3A4. The terminal half-life (t½) of candesartan is approximately 9 hours. No accumulation is observed following repeated dosing. The half-life of candesartan remains unchanged (approximately 9 hours) after administration of candesartan cilexetil in combination with hydrochlorothiazide. No additional accumulation of candesartan occurs after repeated administration of the combination compared to monotherapy.
Total plasma clearance of candesartan is approximately 0.37 mL / min / kg, with a renal clearance of approximately 0.19 mL / min / kg. Renal excretion occurs by both glomerular filtration and active tubular secretion. Following an oral dose of 14C-labeled candesartan cilexetil, approximately 26% of the dose is excreted in the urine as candesartan and 7% as an inactive metabolite, while approximately 56 % of the dose is found in the faeces as candesartan and 10% as the inactive metabolite.
Hydrochlorothiazide
Hydrochlorothiazide is not metabolised and is excreted almost entirely as unchanged drug by glomerular filtration and active tubular secretion. The terminal half-life (t1 / 2) of hydrochlorothiazide is approximately 8 hours. Approximately 70% of an oral dose is eliminated. in urine within 48 hours. The half-life of hydrochlorothiazide remains unchanged (approximately 8 hours) after administration of hydrochlorothiazide in combination with candesartan cilexetil. There is no additional accumulation of hydrochlorothiazide after repeated administration of the combination compared to monotherapy.
Pharmacokinetics in special populations
Candesartan cilexetil
In the elderly (over 65 years of age) both Cmax and AUC of candesartan are increased by approximately 50% and 80%, respectively, compared to young subjects. However, the blood pressure response and the incidence of adverse events are similar after administration of the same dose of candesartan / hydrochlorothiazide in young and elderly patients (see section 4.2).
In patients with mild and moderate renal impairment, candesartan Cmax and AUC during repeated dosing increased by approximately 50% and 70%, respectively, but terminal t1 / 2 was not altered compared to patients with normal kidney function. Corresponding changes in patients with severe renal impairment were approximately 50% and 110%, respectively. The terminal t1 / 2 of candesartan was approximately doubled in patients with severe renal impairment. The pharmacokinetic profile in hemodialysis patients was similar to that of patients with severe renal impairment.
In two studies, both in patients with mild to moderate hepatic impairment there was an increase in mean AUC of candesartan of approximately 20% in one study and 80% in the other study (see section 4.2). experience in patients with severe hepatic impairment.
Hydrochlorothiazide
The terminal t1 / 2 of hydrochlorothiazide is prolonged in patients with impaired renal function.
05.3 Preclinical safety data -
No new toxic effects were observed with the combination compared to those observed with the individual components. In preclinical safety studies, candesartan had effects on kidney and red cell parameters at high doses in mice, rats, dogs and monkeys. Candesartan caused a reduction in red blood cell parameters (erythrocytes, hemoglobin, hematocrit). Effects on the kidneys (such as tubular regeneration, dilation and basophilicity; increased plasma concentrations of urea and creatinine) were induced by candesartan and may be secondary to the hypotensive effect resulting in impaired renal perfusion. The addition of hydrochlorothiazide potentiates the nephrotoxicity of candesartan. Furthermore, candesartan induced hyperplasia / hypertrophy of the juxtaglomerular cells. These changes can be considered as a consequence of the pharmacological action of candesartan and of little clinical relevance.
Foetotoxicity has been observed in advanced pregnancy with candesartan. The addition of hydrochlorothiazide did not significantly affect fetal development in rats, mice and rabbits (see section 4.6).
Candesartan and hydrochlorothiazide exhibit genotoxic activity at very high concentrations / doses. The genotoxicity data in vitro And in vivo indicate that candesartan and hydrochlorothiazide are unlikely to exert mutagenic or clastogenic activity under conditions of clinical use. No carcinogenic phenomena were observed with either compound.
