How to take, the dosage

The drug Co-Vamloset should be taken orally with a little water, regardless of meal times.

The recommended daily dose is 1 tablet containing amlodipine + valsartan + GXTZ at a dose of 5 mg + 160 mg + 12.5 mg, 10 mg + 160 mg + 12.5 mg (as Co-Vamloset, film-coated tablets, 5 mg + 160 mg + 12.5 mg, 10 mg + 160 mg + 12.5 mg) or 1 tablet containing amlodipine + valsartan + GXTZ at a dose of 10 mg + 160 mg + 25 mg (as Co-Vamloset, film-coated tablets, 10 mg + 160 mg + 25 mg).

The drug Co-Vamloset is taken once daily.

For convenience, patients receiving amlodipine, valsartan and GXTZ monotherapy in separate tablets can be switched to therapy with Co-Vamloset containing the same doses of active ingredients. Patients with insufficient BP control on dual combination therapy (valsartan + GXTZ, amlodipine + valsartan, and amlodipine + GXTZ) may be switched to triple combination therapy with Co-Vamloset in appropriate doses.

The dose of Co-Vamloset is adjusted after previously titrated doses of monocomponent drugs containing the active ingredients of Co-Vamloset. If it will be necessary to change a dose of one of active ingredients in KoVamloset (e.g. in connection with newly diagnosed disease, change of patient’s condition or drug interaction), individual selection of doses of individual components is necessary.

Patients with sodium deficiency and/or hypovolemia, such as those receiving high doses of diuretics, may develop symptomatic arterial hypotension at the beginning of therapy with Co-Vamloset. This combination should be used only after correction of hyponatremia and/or hypovolemia.

If a patient has dose-dependent side effects when using dual combination therapy with any component of Co-Vamloset, a Co-Vamloset containing a lower dose of the active component that caused the side effect may be used to achieve a comparable decrease in BP.

Increase the dose 2 weeks after starting therapy.

The maximum antihypertensive effect of Co-Vamloset is noted 2 weeks after increasing the dose. The maximum dose is 10 mg + 320 mg + 25 mg per day.

Application in patients over 65 years

No adjustment of the drug dose is necessary. In patients in this category, if necessary, it is possible to reduce the initial dose to contain the lowest dose of amlodipine, i.e. 1 tablet containing amlodipine + valsartan + GXTZ at a dose of 5 mg + 160 mg + 12.5 mg (as Co-Vamloset, film-coated tablets, 5 mg + 160 mg + 12.5 mg) or 5 mg + 160 mg + 25 mg (as Co-Vamloset, film-coated tablets, 5 mg + 160 mg + 25 mg).

Application in children and adolescents under the age of 18

“Since the safety and effectiveness of Co-Vamloset in children and adolescents (under 18 years) has not been established, the drug is not recommended for use in this patient population.

Patients with impaired renal function

For patients with renal dysfunction of mild to moderate degree (FFR ≥ 30 ml/min/1.73 m2 of body surface area, but ≤ 90 ml/min/1.73 m2 of body surface area) the initial dose adjustment is not required. The drug should not be used in patients with severe renal dysfunction (GFR < 30 ml/min/1.73 m2 body surface area) due to the presence of HCTS in the drug.

The use of thiazide diuretics in monotherapy in patients with impaired renal function of severe degree (GFR < 30 ml/min/1.73 m2 body surface area) is ineffective, however simultaneous use with “loop” diuretics in patients of this category is possible.

Patients with impaired liver function

Interaction

Amlodipine

When amlodipine monotherapy is used, there are no clinically significant interactions with Thiazide diuretics, beta-adrenoblockers, ACE inhibitors, long-acting nitrates, nitroglycerin for sublingual use, digoxin, warfarin, atorvastatin, sildenafil, aluminum- and magnesium hydroxide, simethicone, cimetidine, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), antibiotics and hypoglycemic drugs for oral administration.

Concurrent administration of amlodipine and ethanol does not affect pharmacokinetics of the latter.

CYP3A4 isoenzyme inhibitors

Concurrent use of amlodipine at a dose of 5 mg/day with diltiazem at a dose of 180 mg/day in elderly patients with arterial hypertension resulted in a 1.6-fold increase in systemic exposure to amlodipine. When using amlodipine with potent CYP3A4 isoenzyme inhibitors (e.g., ketoconazole, itraconazole and ritonavir) an even more pronounced increase in systemic exposure to amlodipine may occur. Caution is necessary when using amlodipine with CYP3A4 isoenzyme inhibitors.

Due to CYP3A4 isoenzyme inhibition, concomitant administration with grapefruit juice may increase the bioavailability of amlodipine. However, in a clinical study in healthy volunteers no significant changes in pharmacokinetics were found when taking amlodipine at a dose of 10 mg with 240 ml of grapefruit juice.

CYP3A4 isoenzyme inducers

Because the use of amlodipine with CYP3A4 isoenzyme inducers (e.g., carbamazepine, phenobarbital, phenytoin, fosphenytoin, primidone, rifampicin, herbal preparations containing St. John’s Wort

Special Instructions

Overdose

There are currently no data on cases of drug overdose.

Amlodipine

Alodipine overdose may result in excessive peripheral vasodilation and possible reflex tachycardia. Severe and prolonged BP lowering up to the development of shock with lethal outcome has also been reported.

Valsartan

In an overdose of valsartan, you can expect to develop a marked decrease in BP and dizziness.

In case of pronounced BP decrease, the patient should be in a horizontal position with elevated legs and take active measures to support cardiovascular activity, including regular monitoring of cardiac and respiratory system activity, CPR, and urine output.

Vasopressor drugs may be used to maintain normal vascular tone if there are no contraindications. If Co-Vamloset has been taken recently, vomiting or gastric lavage may be effective. The use of activated charcoal in healthy volunteers was accompanied by a decrease in absorption of amlodipine.

Valsartan and amlodipine are not eliminated by hemodialysis, whereas hemodialysis may be effective for HCTC elimination.

Pregnancy use

As with any drug that affects the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS), Co-Vamloset should not be used in women planning to become pregnant. When prescribing any drug that affects the RAAS, the physician should inform women of childbearing age about the potential dangers of these drugs during pregnancy.

The use of Co-Vamloset in pregnancy is contraindicated.

It is known that the use of ACE inhibitors that affect the RAAS in the II and III trimesters of pregnancy leads to the damage or death of the developing fetus. Given the mechanism of action of ARA II, the risk to the fetus cannot be excluded. According to a retrospective analysis, the use of ACE inhibitors in the first trimester of pregnancy was accompanied by the development of fetal and neonatal pathology.

HCTC penetrates through the placenta. When using thiazide diuretics, including HCTC, during pregnancy, fetal or neonatal jaundice or thrombocytopenia may develop, as well as other adverse reactions seen in adult patients. Inadvertent administration of valsartan in pregnant women has resulted in cases of spontaneous abortions, scarcity of water, and renal dysfunction in the newborn. There are insufficient data on the use of amlodipine in pregnant women to judge its impact on the fetus.

If pregnancy is diagnosed during treatment with Co-Vamloset, the drug should be discontinued as soon as possible.

It is unknown whether valsartan and/or amlodipine are excreted with breast milk. Excretion of valsartan with breast milk has been reported in experimental studies. HCTS is also excreted with breast milk. Co-Vamloset is contraindicated during breastfeeding.
